- Status Calculation:
=IF([@Total Stock Available] <= [@Reorder Level], IF([@Total Stock Available]=0, "Out of Stock", "Low Stock"), "In Stock")
- Last Updated (Auto-Fill):
Use an IF statement with a helper column or VBA script to update the timestamp only when changes occur.
- Supply History Total:
Use SUMIFS in the Inventory Tracker sheet to calculate total usage per item:
=SUMIFS('Supply History & Logs'!$D:$D, 'Supply History & Logs'!$C:$C, [@Item ID], 'Supply History & Logs'!$B:$B, "Consumed")
Conditional Formatting
Applied to enhance visual data interpretation:
- Status Column: Red for "Out of Stock", Yellow for "Low Stock", Green for "In Stock".
- Total Stock Available: Highlight cells below Reorder Level in orange.
- Last Updated: Use color scales to highlight entries older than 7 days (e.g., red if >7 days old).
User Instructions
- All team members must use the same template version and avoid editing locked cells.
- Enter data only in designated fields. Do not delete rows or columns.
- Use the dropdown menus for Category and Responsible Team Member to maintain consistency.
- If a supply is consumed, go to the "Supply History & Logs" sheet and record the transaction with accurate quantity and reason.
- Reorder levels should be set by department managers based on usage patterns (recommended: review quarterly).
- Save frequently. Use "Save As" when sharing to avoid overwriting changes.
