Formulas Used
- Available for Dispatch: =Total Quantity in Stock - Reserved for Events
- Status Update Logic: =IF(Required Quantity > Available, "Insufficient Stock", IF(Reserved < Total, "In Process", "Complete"))
- Auto-increment IDs: Use formula with INDEX and MATCH to generate unique Item/Event/Movement IDs.

- Orange Fill: Items with Available ≤ 10 (Low Stock Threshold)

- Purple Border: Movements older than 48 hours without confirmation
