Data Types & Formulas Required

• Unit Cost & Selling Price: Number (Currency) – stored as decimal values in USD.
• Stock Quantity: Integer – ensures only whole units are tracked.
• Date Fields: Date data type for accurate time-based analysis.

The template includes essential formulas to automate financial calculations:

• Total Value of Inventory (per item): = [Unit Cost] × [Units in Stock]
• Gross Profit per Item: = [Selling Price] - [Unit Cost]
• Running Total of Transactions: In the Transactions sheet, use SUMIFS to calculate total revenue or cost by date range.
• Monthly COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): = SUMPRODUCT(Units Sold × Unit Cost) from the Transaction sheet filtered by month.
• Ending Inventory Value: = SUM([Inventory Master]!$E$2:$E$100 * [Inventory Master]!$F$2:$F$100)

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Alert: When "Units in Stock" < 5, background turns red with yellow text.
• High Value Items: If Unit Cost > $100, highlight in green to identify expensive inventory.
• Purchase vs. Sales Tracking: In Transactions sheet, use color coding: blue for purchases, orange for sales.
• Date-Based Filters: Highlight overdue transactions (e.g., older than 30 days) in grey.
