Table Structures & Column Definitions

All tables are designed with clear, consistent column names and standardized data types:

Key Formulas Required

The template employs a suite of powerful Excel formulas to maintain data accuracy and enable real-time financial analysis:

• SUMIFS(): Used to calculate total sales or COGS for specific categories or time periods.
• IF() & VLOOKUP(): To auto-populate cost and price from the master list during transaction logging.
• ROUND() & ROUNDUP()**: Applied in financial calculations to ensure precision in currency values.
• CONCATENATE() or TEXTJOIN(): For creating product identifiers or combining data fields.
• =SUMPRODUCT(Conditioned Arrays): To compute inventory turnover and average stock days.
• =TODAY() & =NOW(): To auto-populate transaction timestamps and refresh dates.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visibility and alert users to critical data points:

• Low Stock Alerts (Red Background): When current stock level is below safety stock threshold.
• Overstock Warnings (Yellow Background): If stock exceeds 200% of safety level.
• Negative Profit Flags: Cells in financial summary showing negative gross profit are highlighted in red with a warning message.
• Out-of-Date Items (Gray Text): Products with last restock over 90 days are flagged for review.
