Table Structures and Columns (with Data Types)
Sheet 1: Data Entry (Daily Log)
This sheet serves as the core Data Collection interface. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Date | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | Transaction date of inventory movement. | | Item ID | Text/Number (Unique) | Unique identifier for each inventory item. | | Item Name | Text (Max 50 chars) | Descriptive name of the product or material. | | Category | Text (Dropdown List) | e.g., Raw Material, Finished Good, Consumable, Equipment. | | Quantity In Stock (Before) | Number (Integer/Decimal) | Stock count prior to transaction. | | Transaction Type | Text (Dropdown: "Add", "Remove", "Adjust") | Indicates the type of inventory movement. | | Quantity Transacted | Number (Positive Integer) | Number of units added or removed. | | Cost Per Unit (USD) | Currency ($0,000.00) | Historical or current cost per unit (from purchase records). | | Total Value Change ($) | Formula Auto-Fill | =Quantity Transacted × Cost Per Unit | | Notes/Reference ID | Text (Optional) | Batch number, supplier invoice, internal reference. |Sheet 2: Inventory Summary
Aggregates data from Data Entry and provides a high-level view. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Unique) | Linked to Data Entry. | | Item Name | Text | From Data Entry. | | Category | Text | Categorized for filtering. | | Current Stock Quantity (Units) | Number (Auto-Calculation) | =SUMIF(Data Entry!A:A, A2, Data Entry!E:E) – adjusted via formulas based on transaction type. | | Total Inventory Value ($) | Formula Auto-Fill | =Current Stock Quantity × Cost Per Unit | | Reorder Level Threshold (Units) | Number (Set by user) | Threshold triggering purchase alerts. | | Status | Conditional Text ("Low", "Normal", "High") | Based on stock level vs. reorder threshold. |Sheet 3: Cost Analysis & Profitability
Focuses on the Financial View, integrating data from sales and procurement. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Unique) | Links to other sheets. | | Item Name | Text | Product name. | | Avg. Cost Per Unit ($) | Formula Auto-Fill (Weighted Average) =SUMIFS(Data Entry!F:F, Data Entry!B:B, A2) / SUMIFS(Data Entry!E:E, Data Entry!B:B, A2) | Tracks cost fluctuations over time. | | Current Stock Value ($) | From Inventory Summary Sheet | Updated dynamically. | | Avg. Selling Price ($) (from Sales Records) | Number (Input or linked from external system) | Can be pulled via Power Query if integrated with sales data. | | Gross Profit Per Unit ($) | Formula =Avg. Selling Price – Avg. Cost Per Unit | Shows profitability per unit sold or held in stock. | | Gross Margin (%) | Formula =Gross Profit Per Unit / Avg. Selling Price × 100 | Critical KPI for financial assessment of inventory performance. |Formulas Required
- Current Stock Quantity: `=SUMIFS(Data Entry!E:E, Data Entry!B:B, A2)` (for In stock before) + `IF(SUMIFS(Data Entry!F:F, Data Entry!B:B, A2)=0, 0)` adjustment for transaction type logic. - Status: `=IF(B2<=C2,"Low",IF(B2>=D2*1.5,"High","Normal"))` - Gross Margin %: `=IF(E2=0, 0, (E2-D2)/E2)` - UseSUMIFS, AVERAGEIFS, and VLOOKUP to pull data across sheets dynamically.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Stock Status:** Green for “Normal”, Yellow for “Low”, Red for “High” (based on status column). - **Profit Margin:** Color scale from red (<10%) to green (>30%). - **Inventory Value Thresholds:** Highlight rows where Total Inventory Value exceeds $10,000 in bold red text. - Apply rules dynamically so changes in Data Entry update visual indicators instantly.Instructions for the User
- Open the template and enable macros (if prompted) for full functionality.
- Navigate to “Data Entry” sheet and enter daily inventory movements using consistent item IDs.
- Use dropdowns in Transaction Type and Category fields for data consistency.
- Update Cost Per Unit only when procurement changes occur—don’t alter historical data.
- Reorder Level Thresholds can be customized per item based on lead time and sales velocity.
- Review the “Inventory Summary” sheet daily to monitor stock levels and alert thresholds.
- Analyze profitability in “Cost Analysis & Profitability” to identify high-margin items or slow-moving inventory.
- Use dashboards for monthly reviews: compare total inventory value trends, profitability shifts, and stock turnover rates.
