Table Structures and Columns

Sheet 1: Inventory Master (Core Table)

This is the foundation of the Data Version template, designed for high scalability and integration with other sheets. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|------------| | Product ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier for each product (e.g., P001, SKU-2024) | | Product Name | Text | Full name of the product | | Category | Text/List (Dropdown) | e.g., Electronics, Apparel, Consumables | | Current Stock Level | Number (Integer) | Real-time available units in inventory | | Reorder Point (ROP) | Number (Integer) | Minimum stock level triggering reorder | | Lead Time (Days) | Number (Integer) | Average days from order to delivery | | Safety Stock Level | Number (Integer) | Buffer stock to prevent shortages | | Unit Cost ($) | Currency ($0.00) | Cost per unit from supplier | | Selling Price ($) | Currency ($0.00) | Retail or sale price per unit | | Last Updated Date | Date (dd/mm/yyyy) | Timestamp of the last inventory count |

Sheet 2: Growth Planning Dashboard

A dynamic summary page that visualizes inventory health and growth metrics. | Metric Name | Formula/Source | |--------------|----------------| | Total Inventory Value ($) | SUM(Units × Unit Cost) from Inventory Master | | Stock Turnover Ratio | Annual Sales / Average Inventory Level | | Days of Stock on Hand | (Current Stock Level / Avg Daily Demand) * 365 | | Overstocked Items Count | COUNTIF(Current Stock Level > 2×ROP, ...) | | Understocked Items Count | COUNTIF(Current Stock Level < ROP, ...) |

Sheet 3: Forecast & Replenishment Log

Contains historical sales and AI-assisted forecasts. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|------------| | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | Date | Sales date or forecast period | | Product ID | Text/Number | Links to Inventory Master | | Units Sold (Historical) | Number (Integer) | Past sales per day/week/month | | Forecasted Demand (Next 30 Days) | Number (Float) | Predictive algorithm output using moving average & trend analysis | | Recommended Reorder Quantity | Formula-Driven | MAX(0, Forecasted Demand - Current Stock Level + Safety Stock) |

Sheet 4: Supplier Performance Tracker

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and automation:

Reorder Recommendation: =MAX(0, E3 - B3 + F3)
Where E3 = Forecasted Demand, B3 = Current Stock Level, F3 = Safety Stock.
Stock Turnover Ratio: =SUMIF(Inventory_Master[Product ID], A2, Inventory_Master[Units Sold]) / AVERAGE(Inventory_Master[Current Stock Level])
Days of Stock: =B3 / (SUMIFS(History[Units Sold], History[Product ID], A3) / 30)
(Assumes monthly average demand).
On-Time Delivery Rate: =COUNTIFS(Tracker[Status], "Delivered on Time", Tracker[Supplier Name], A2) / COUNTIF(Tracker[Supplier Name], A2)

Conditional Formatting

To support Growth Planning, visual cues are applied for quick decision-making:

Red Highlight: Items with Current Stock Level below Reorder Point (ROP) — indicates immediate replenishment needed.
Yellow Highlight: Stock levels between 80% and 95% of ROP — early warning for potential shortage.
Green Highlight: Stock level ≥ ROP + 20% — healthy inventory status.
Purple Gradient: In the Growth Dashboard, higher values in “Stock Turnover Ratio” get darker purple—high efficiency.

User Instructions

1. Input Data: Populate the "Inventory Master" sheet with accurate product details and current stock levels. 2. Update Regularly: Enter new sales data in the "Forecast & Replenishment Log" weekly. 3. Analyze Dashboard: Review KPIs on the "Growth Planning Dashboard" to identify overstock, understock, or supply chain risks. 4. Action Based on Recommendations: Use suggested reorder quantities to place purchase orders. 5. Maintain Supplier Data: Log delivery performance in the “Supplier Performance Tracker” after each shipment.
