Formulas Required

Closing Balance: =IF(ROW()=2, [Opening Balance], OFFSET(Closing_Balance, -1, 0)) + Quantity_In - Quantity_Out
Current Stock Level (in Master List): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Item_ID, Daily_Stock_Log!$A$2:$M$1000, 8, FALSE), 0)
Low Stock Alert: =IF(Current_Stock_Level <= Reorder_Point, "REORDER", "")
Daily Usage Totals by Category: Use SUMIFS to aggregate Quantity Out by Category.
Auto-Update of Opening Balance: Formula in first row of Opening Balance column pulls the last Closing Balance from previous date.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Alerts: If Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point → Background: Red; Font: White.
Daily Transactions with Negative Quantity Out (Excessive Use): Highlight in Yellow if Quantity Out > 50% of average monthly usage.
Reorder Needed: In the Alerts Dashboard, items with "REORDER" status are highlighted in red font and bold.
High Usage Items: Bar charts on the Usage Trends sheet use color gradients to highlight top 3 used items.

User Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Open the template and save it with a unique name (e.g., “School_EducationStock_Daily_05.04.2025.xlsx”).
Review the Inventory Master List. Ensure all items are listed with correct reorder points and units.
Each morning, open the Daily Stock Log.
Enter today’s date. For each item received or issued, add a new row with accurate data.
The closing balance will auto-calculate using formulas.
At end of day, review the Alerts & Reorder Dashboard. Click on "REORDER" items to generate purchase lists.
