Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to calculate key financial indicators automatically:

• Profit per Unit = SellingPrice - CostPrice
• Total Value of Inventory = CurrentStockQty × CostPrice
• Inventory Turnover Ratio (Monthly) = COGS / Average Inventory – calculated in Financial Summary sheet.
• Days of Inventory on Hand = (CurrentStockQty / MonthlySalesAverage) × 30
• Gross Profit Margin (%) = (GrossProfit / SalesRevenue) × 100
• COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) = Sum(Transactions where Type = Purchase) – using SUMIFS and filtering by type.
• Monthly Revenue Total: =SUMIFS(SalesColumn, TransactionDate, ">=start_date", TransactionDate, "<=end_date")
• Stock Reorder Flag (Conditional Logic): If CurrentStockQty ≤ ReorderLevel → Shows "Reorder Needed" in red.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to highlight critical financial and operational indicators:

• Cells where CurrentStockQty ≤ ReorderLevel are highlighted in **red** with bold text.
• Purchase items with a profit margin below 10% are shaded in **yellow** for review.
• If any product has an inactive status, the row is highlighted in **gray** to indicate potential deprecation.
• Inventory values exceeding $10,000 are marked in **orange**, prompting a review of high-value stock.
• Transaction dates older than 90 days appear with a light gray background for audit tracking.
