Table Structures & Columns (Invoice Details Sheet)

The primary data table in the "Invoice Details" sheet consists of 10 structured columns:

Formulas Required

The template uses several built-in Excel formulas to ensure automation and accuracy:

• Auto-Incrementing Invoice ID: Using a formula like =TEXT(TODAY(), "YYYY")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") in cell A2 (assuming data starts at row 2) to generate IDs such as “INV-2024-001”.
• Total Amount Due: =SUM(B3, C3) - D3 + (SUM(B3,C3)-D3)*E3 where B = Tuition Fee, C = Materials Cost, D = Discount, E = Tax Rate (as decimal).
• Invoice Status Logic: =IF(F2="", "Pending", IF(F2="Paid", "Paid", IF(TODAY() > G2 + 14, "Overdue", "Pending")) (example: if payment due date is 14 days after issue, overdue after that).
• Student Lookup: VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull student name and email from the “Student Master List” sheet based on Student ID.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and usability, the following conditional rules are applied:

• Overdue Invoices: Red fill with white text for any row where status is “Overdue”.
• Paid Invoices: Green background for rows marked as “Paid”.
• Total Amount Due > $500: Orange highlight to flag high-value invoices.
• Discount Applied > 10%: Light yellow fill to identify significant discounts for review.
