Table Structures & Data Types

Each sheet uses a normalized, scalable table structure optimized for data accuracy and reporting efficiency:

1. Goals & Objectives Sheet

2. Warehouse Inventory Master Sheet

3. Inventory Movement Log Sheet

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates and data integrity:

• =IF(Inventory Level < Reorder Point, "REORDER REQUIRED", ""): Triggers reorder alerts when stock falls below threshold.
• =SUMIFS(MovementLog[Quantity], MovementLog[Type], "In") - SUMIFS(MovementLog[Quantity], MovementLog[Type], "Out"): Calculates net inventory balance.
• =VLOOKUP(SKU Code, InventoryMaster, 4, FALSE): Retrieves category and UoM for dynamic reporting.
• =SUMPRODUCT((Goals[Status]="Active") * (Goals[Target Value] > 0)): Counts active goals with measurable targets.

Conditional Formatting

To improve visual clarity and enable quick decision-making:

• Red background on "Inventory Level" cells below the "Reorder Point" for urgent alerts.
• Green highlight on completed goals in the Goals & Objectives sheet.
• Purple shading on movement logs with type “Transfer” to differentiate inter-location movements.
• Yellow cells for "On-time Delivery" rate below 95% to signal performance gaps.
