SUMMARY OF REQUIRED FORMULAS
The template uses advanced Excel functions to enable intelligent growth planning:- Dynamic Stock Status:
=IF(CurrentStockLevel <= ReorderPoint, "At Risk", IF(CurrentStockLevel = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Recommended Order Quantity:
=MAX(0, (AverageDailyDemand * LeadTime) + SafetyStock - CurrentStockLevel)(Where AverageDailyDemand and SafetyStock are derived from the Sales Forecasting sheet.) - Total Stock Value:
=CurrentStockLevel * UnitCost - Last Reorder Date Update: Use a VBA macro or manual entry, but can be auto-updated via linked purchase tracker.
- Inventory Turnover Ratio:
=AnnualSalesVolume / AverageStockLevel, calculated per product and aggregated across categories.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES (KEY TO GROWTH PLANNING)
Visual cues are critical for fast, effective decision-making in growth planning:- Stock Level Alerts: - Red fill: Stock level ≤ Reorder Point - Yellow fill: Stock level between 10% and Reorder Point - Green fill: Adequate stock (above reorder point)
- Growth Trend Indicators: Color scale on "Growth Rate" column (calculated from sales data): - Deep red → Negative growth (< 0%) - Yellow → Low growth (0% to 5%) - Green → High growth (> 5%)
- Category Risk Matrix: Use data bars in "Stock Value" column to highlight high-value items requiring closer monitoring.
