TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMNS (Detailed Supply Tracking Sheet)

The core of this template is the Detailed Supply Tracking sheet. It uses a structured table format with the following columns:

FIELDS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED

This template uses dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and enable real-time analysis:

• Supply ID Auto-Generator:
  =CONCATENATE("SUP-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) – Generates a unique ID for each new row.
• Delivery Variance Calculation:
  =IF(ISBLANK([Actual Delivery Date]), "", [Actual Delivery Date] - [Expected Delivery Date])
• Status Conditional Logic:
  Uses IF and ISBLANK functions to auto-update status based on delivery date.
• On-Time Rate (in Client Summary):
  =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Delivered") / COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "<>Cancelled")
• Total Cost Formula:
  = [Unit Price] * [Quantity Delivered] – Unit price is stored in a lookup table.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES (Manager View)

To enhance visual clarity for Manager View, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Status Highlighting:
  • "Delayed" → Red fill, white text.
  • "In Transit" → Orange fill.
  • "Delivered" → Green fill with checkmark icon (if enabled).
• Delivery Variance:
  • Days > 7 → Red background.
  • 0 to 7 days → Yellow background.
  • < 0 (early) → Light green with checkmark.
