Excel Template Description: Content Planning - Supply List - Report Version

This comprehensive Excel template, titled Content Planning - Supply List - Report Version, is a professionally designed tool tailored for marketing teams, content managers, and editorial departments aiming to streamline the logistical coordination required for consistent content production.

The “Report Version” designation signifies its suitability for executive review, audit trails, and cross-departmental alignment. This version transforms raw planning data into a visually rich, actionable report with automated analytics.

Content Inventory: Core table listing all planned content pieces.
Supply Tracker: Detailed list of required materials and their availability.

Formulas Required

In “Supply Tracker”, the Status column uses: =IF([@Quantity Available]=0,"Out of Stock",IF([@Quantity Available]<=[@[Quantity Required]]*0.2,"Low (≤20%)",IF([@[Expiry Date]]


    In “Content Inventory”, the Supply ID(s) field is manually populated but triggers a lookup in Report Dashboard to calculate total supply dependencies.
    In “Report Dashboard”, total content items: 
        =COUNTA(ContentInventory[ID])-1
    Total supplies at risk (Low/Out of Stock): 
        =COUNTIFS(SupplyTracker[Status],"Low (≤20%)")+COUNTIFS(SupplyTracker[Status],"Out of Stock")
    Content on track for publish date: 
        =SUMPRODUCT((ContentInventory[Status]="Ready for Production")*(ContentInventory[Publish Date]>=TODAY())*(ContentInventory[Publish Date]<=TODAY()+7))



Conditional Formatting

    Supply Tracker Status Column: Red if “Out of Stock” or “Expired”; Orange if “Low (≤20%)”; Green if “In Stock”.
    Content Inventory Priority Column: Red for "Critical", Yellow for "High", Blue for "Medium", Gray for "Low".
    Publish Date Column: Highlight cells past today’s date and still not “Published” in red.


User Instructions

    How to Use This Template:
    
        Begin by entering all planned content items into the “Content Inventory” sheet with accurate titles, types, and publish dates.
        For each content item, identify required supplies (e.g., stock photos, software licenses). Add them to the “Supply Tracker” sheet.
        Link supply IDs in the “Supply ID(s)” column of Content Inventory using comma-separated values (e.g., S001,S003).
        Update “Quantity Available” in Supply Tracker weekly or after procurement.
        Review the Report Dashboard daily — it auto-updates and highlights supply bottlenecks.
        If a supply becomes unavailable, change its status to “Out of Stock” — the dashboard will flag content at risk immediately.
        Use Log & History to record changes, approvals, or vendor communications for compliance.
