Formulas Required

Dynamic Inventory Summary in Planning View: =SUMIF('Inventory Master List'!A:A, A2, 'Inventory Master List'!F:F) — Sums current stock for each category.
Moving Average Demand: =AVERAGEIFS('Client Demand History'!E:E, 'Client Demand History'!C:C, A2, 'Client Demand History'!D:D, ">="&EDATE(TODAY(),-6), 'Client Demand History'!D:D, "<="&TODAY())
Reorder Trigger Indicator: =IF('Inventory Master List'!F2 <= 'Inventory Master List'!C2, "REORDER REQUIRED", "OK")
Forecast Accuracy (Percentage): =1 - ABS(Actual - Forecast)/Actual — used in the reporting summary to show predictive performance.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Stock Levels: Highlight cells in "Current Stock Level" red if below Reorder Point (Red fill, white text) and green if above safety stock level.
Reorder Status: Apply color-coded indicators: Red = "REORDER REQUIRED", Green = "OK".
Demand Trends: Use data bars in the demand history table to visualize high-demand periods.
