Formulas Required

The template includes dynamic formulas to automate compliance tracking:

Expiration Date: =IF(Manufacturing_Date<>"", Manufacturing_Date + 365*2, "") (Adjust based on product type).
Next Due Date: =IF(Last_Compliance_Check_Date<>"", Last_Compliance_Check_Date + 180, "") (Assumes semi-annual audits).
Status Indicator: Uses a combination of IF and TODAY() to flag items due for review: =IF(Next_Due_Date


    Auto-fill Product ID: Uses a simple counter with a formula: =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"P-000").



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical items:

    Non-Compliant Products: Red fill with white text.
    Due for Review (within 30 days): Orange background.
    Pending Review (overdue): Bright red highlight.
    Expiration Date within 90 Days: Yellow highlight to indicate impending shelf-life expiry.
    Status Column: Color-coding: Green for Compliant, Red for Non-Compliant, Blue for Pending Review.
