Instructions for the User

Step-by-Step Guide:

Open the template and navigate to the “Weekly Stock Log” sheet.
Select a date (Week Ending) from the dropdown or enter manually in column A (must be Sunday).
In column B, use the drop-down list to select an Item ID from your master inventory.
Item Name, Category, Unit of Measure, and Reorder Level will auto-populate from the Master List.
Enter Opening Stock (previous week’s Closing Stock), Received This Week (new deliveries), and Issued This Week (consumed by teachers/students).
The Closing Stock column auto-calculates.
Check Status: “Low Stock” or “Critical” indicates immediate action needed.
At week’s end, review the “Weekly Summary & Alerts” and “Dashboard Overview” sheets.
Use the data to plan next week’s procurement and adjust education delivery schedules accordingly (e.g., postpone lab experiments if reagents are low).

Example Rows (Weekly Stock Log)

Note: The "Closing Stock" column auto-calculates as 3 (5 + 2 – 4). Since the Reorder Level is set at 3, this triggers a “Low Stock” status.
