FORMULAS USED IN THE TEMPLATE
This template leverages Excel formulas to automate planning and stock control:- Auto-Generate Item ID:
=CONCATENATE("ECI-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))— Generates unique IDs (e.g., ECI-001) based on row number. - Total Value in Stock:
=D2*H2— Multiplies current stock by unit price. - Stock Status:
=IF(E2<=F2,"Low Stock","In Stock")— Flags items below reorder threshold. - Last Ordered Days Ago:
=TODAY()-G2— Calculates how many days since last order for timely follow-up. - Safety Check (for Dashboard):
=IF(E2<=F2, "REORDER NOW", "")— Used in conditional formatting and alerts. - Budget Summary: Sum of all Total Value in Stock to show overall inventory value.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
To enhance usability and visual clarity:- Low Stock Alert: If "Current Stock Level" ≤ "Reorder Threshold", highlight the row in bright red (#FF4D4D).
- Expired Items (if date field added): Use a rule to flag items with an expiry date passed.
- Status Column: Color-code cells: Green for "In Stock", Yellow for "Near Threshold", Red for "Low Stock".
- Last Ordered Over 60 Days: Highlight rows where days since last order > 60 in orange.
