Formulas and Dynamic Logic

• CURRENT STOCK LEVEL (Inventory Ledger): =SUMIFS('Stock Movement Log'!$E:$E, 'Stock Movement Log'!$C:$C, "OUTBOUND", 'Stock Movement Log'!$D:$D, [Item ID]) - SUMIFS('Stock Movement Log'!$E:$E, 'Stock Movement Log'!$C:$C, "INBOUND", 'Stock Movement Log'!$D:$D, [Item ID]) (Note: Use a helper column in the movement log to flag direction via IF statements.)
• Reorder Trigger Indicator: =IF([Current Stock Level] <= [Reorder Point], "YES", "NO") Placed in the Inventory Ledger to highlight urgent items.
• Employee Assignments Validation: Use VLOOKUP and #N/A error checking to ensure no orphaned employee assignments exist.
• Daily Stock Change Summary: Dynamic SUM by date using SUMIFS, useful for trend analysis in dashboards.

Conditional Formatting Rules (Advanced)

• Low Stock Levels: Highlight cells where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point in red with bold text.
• Movement Status: Color-code status columns: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "Pending", Red for "Rejected".
• Hire Date Trends: Apply gradient scale to recent hire dates (last 30 days) in orange.
• Duplicate Employee IDs: Use conditional formatting rule to flag duplicate entries across the Employee Master sheet.
• Aging Stock Items: If an item hasn't been moved in over 90 days, apply light gray fill and italic font to flag potential dead stock.
