Sheet 2: Detailed Inventory Ledger

This is the source dataset for all other sheets. It contains a full record of all inventory items with their attributes, historical data, and status updates.

Sheet 3: Stock Movement Log

Sheet 4: Performance Dashboard

An interactive dashboard displaying real-time charts and KPIs based on data from the other sheets. Designed to highlight trends, risks, and opportunities for inventory optimization.
