Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel’s powerful formula engine for automation and accuracy:

• CURRENT STOCK LEVEL (Sheet 1): =SUMIFS(Transactions!C:C, Transactions!B:B, Inventory!A2) – Calculates net stock based on transactions.
• Status Column: =IF(CurrentStock <= ReorderPoint, "Low Stock", IF(CurrentStock = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
• Reorder Recommendation: =IF(Status="Low Stock", ReorderPoint - CurrentStock, 0)
• Daily Average Usage: Calculated from last 30 days of outbound transactions.
• Demand Forecast (Next 30 Days): Uses moving average or linear trend analysis with SLOPE(), INTERCEPT(), and TREND().

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical statuses:

• Low Stock Status: Red fill with white text (when stock ≤ reorder point).
• Out of Stock: Dark red background, bold font.
• Increase in Inventory Volume: Green gradient for positive changes in stock.
• Sales Spike Alert: Yellow highlight if daily sales exceed 200% of average (based on dynamic threshold).
