Sheet Names

The template is organized into four distinct sheets:

1. 1. Supply List (Tracking View): The central hub for inputting, updating, and analyzing supply data in real-time.
2. 2. Forecast & Demand Analysis: A dynamic sheet that forecasts future demand based on growth targets and historical usage.
3. 3. Procurement Timeline Tracker: Visualizes procurement schedules with dependencies and lead times to ensure supply readiness.

Note: This is an Excel template designed for continuous use; users should save a copy before editing.

Table Structures and Columns

The primary data structure resides in the "Supply List (Tracking View)" sheet, structured as a master table with the following columns:

<

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic Excel formulas to automate insights and reduce manual workload:

• Status Logic: =IF([@Current_Stock_Level] < [@Reorder_Point], "Critical", IF([@Current_Stock_Level] < 1.2 * [@Reorder_Point], "Low Stock", IF([@Current_Stock_Level] > 0, "In Stock", "Out of Stock")))
  Automatically updates the status based on stock thresholds.
• Next Delivery Date (if applicable): =IF([@Status]="On Order", [@[Expected_Delivery_Date]], "")
  Displays expected delivery only when item is ordered.
• Demand Forecast vs. Supply: =[@[Current_Stock_Level]] - [@Forecasted_Usage]
  Shows surplus or deficit based on upcoming growth projections.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking, the template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules:

• Low Stock (Yellow): Applies to cells where Current Stock Level is less than Reorder Point but greater than 0.
• Critical (Red): Triggers when current stock falls below the reorder threshold.
• In Stock (Green): Highlights items with sufficient inventory.
• Out of Stock (Dark Red): For zero-level items requiring immediate action.
• Status-based Row Coloring: Entire row changes color based on status to enable quick scanning.

Instructions for the User
