Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Master Sheet)
The Inventory Master sheet serves as the central data repository. It includes the following columns with defined data types:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (Unique) | Text/Number (Unique Key) | A unique identifier for each inventory item, e.g., "WHR-00345". Must be unique across all records. |
| Product Name | Text | Name of the product (e.g., "Medical Grade Alcohol, 1L Bottle"). |
| Category | Dropdown (List from Data Validation Rules) | Select from: Raw Materials, Finished Goods, Hazardous Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals. |
| Batch Number | Text | Bulk or lot-specific identifier assigned during receipt. |
| Date Received | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Original receipt date from supplier. |
| Expiry Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Manufactured or shelf-life end date. Critical for compliance tracking. |
| Storage Condition | Dropdown: Ambient, Refrigerated (-2°C to 8°C), Frozen (-18°C), Controlled Atmosphere | Must match warehouse environment standards. Auto-flag if not compliant. |
| Last Compliance Check | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Date of last audit, inspection, or certification review. |
| Next Due Compliance | Date (Formula-based) | Calculated using: =DATE(YEAR([Last Compliance Check]), MONTH([Last Compliance Check]) + 6, DAY([Last Compliance Check])) for semi-annual checks. |
| Status | Dropdown: Active, Expired, Quarantined, Disposed | Auto-updates based on expiry and compliance status. |
| Compliance Risk Level | Text (Auto-Generated) | Calculated using conditional logic: "High" if expiry within 30 days OR next due check within 7 days AND status is Active. |
Formulas Required
The template incorporates several built-in formulas to automate compliance tracking and data validation:
- Next Due Compliance (Column G):
=IF([Last Compliance Check]="", "", DATE(YEAR([Last Compliance Check]), MONTH([Last Compliance Check]) + 6, DAY([Last Compliance Check]))) - Status (Column H):
=IF(TODAY() > [Expiry Date], "Expired", IF(AND(TODAY() >= [Next Due Compliance] - 7, [Status] = "Active"), "Needs Review", [Status])) - Compliance Risk Level (Column I):
=IF(AND([Expiry Date] <= TODAY() + 30, [Status]="Active"), "High", IF(AND([Next Due Compliance] <= TODAY() + 7, [Status]="Active"), "High", "Low")) - Days Until Expiry (Helper Column):
=IF([Expiry Date] = "", "", [Expiry Date] - TODAY()) - Validation Warning (Conditional Format Trigger): Uses a formula to highlight rows with risk conditions.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual compliance tracking, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- High-Risk Items (Red Fill with White Text):
=AND([Status]="Active", [Expiry Date] <= TODAY() + 30)or=AND([Status]="Active", [Next Due Compliance] <= TODAY() + 7) - Expired Items (Dark Red Background):
=TODAY() > [Expiry Date] - Quarantined Items (Orange Highlight):
=[Status]="Quarantined" - Due for Inspection (Yellow Highlight):
=AND([Next Due Compliance] <= TODAY() + 14, [Status]="Active")
