Formulas and Automated Calculations

Inventory Level Reconciliation (in Inventory Master List): =SUMIF(Daily_Inventory_Logs!$C:$C, [Item ID], Daily_Inventory_Logs!$E:$E) This formula calculates the total net change for each item and updates the current stock level dynamically.
Stock Alert Threshold (in Inventory Master List): =IF([Current Stock Level] < [Reorder Point], "Low Stock", "") Triggers automatic alerts when inventory drops below a predefined safety threshold.
Daily Productivity Score (in Employee Work Assignments): =COUNTIFS(Employee_Work_Assignments!$B:$B, TODAY(), Employee_Work_Assignments!$D:$D, "Completed") Counts completed tasks per employee on the current day for performance tracking.
Shift Conflict Detection (in Shift Schedule): =IF(COUNTIFS(Shift_Schedule!$A:$A, [Employee ID], Shift_Schedule!$B:$B, "Day", Shift_Schedule!$C:$C, "Night")>0,"Conflict","No Conflict") Flags employees assigned to overlapping shifts.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Alert: Highlight rows in Inventory Master List where stock level is below reorder point using red fill with white text.
Pending Tasks: In Employee Work Assignments, apply yellow highlight for "Pending" status; red for "Overdue".
Shift Overlaps: Use conditional formatting in the Shift Schedule to flag cells with conflicting shift patterns in red.
Daily Activity Volume: Color-scale the quantity column in Daily Inventory Logs to show high-volume movements (green = high, red = low).

User Instructions
