Table Structure and Columns (Supply List Sheet)

The Supply List sheet is structured as a central database for all materials needed during the growth phase. It uses a robust table format (Excel Table, Ctrl+T) to enable dynamic formulas, filtering, and easy expansion.

Formulas Required (Supply List Sheet)

• Auto-Item ID Generation:
  In cell A2: =IF(ISBLANK(B2), "", "SUP-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
  This formula generates unique IDs (e.g., SUP-001) dynamically based on row number.
• Stock Alert Indicator:
  In cell H2: =IF([@Current Stock Level] < [@Reorder Point], "REORDER", "OK")
  Highlights items below threshold in red if flagged.
• Projected Demand Forecast:
  Uses a formula that pulls from the Growth Forecast & Targets sheet and applies growth multipliers (e.g., 1.5x for Q3).

Conditional Formatting

• Reorder Alerts: Red fill with white text when Current Stock Level < Reorder Point.
• Growth Priority Items: Yellow highlight for items tagged as "High Priority" in the Category column.
• Lead Time Warnings: Orange border for lead times exceeding 30 days (can be adjusted).

User Instructions
