Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Master Sheet)

The main table in the "Inventory Master" sheet is structured to support both personal home management and small business inventory tracking needs. It includes the following columns:

Column	Data Type	Description
Item ID (Auto)	Text/Number (Auto-increment)	A unique identifier assigned automatically to each item.
Item Name	Text	Name of the household item (e.g., "Coffee Beans – Organic, 1kg").
Category	List (Dropdown)	Selected from predefined categories like Kitchen, Cleaning Supplies, Electronics, Tools, Personal Care.
Subcategory	List (Dropdown)	Detailed classification within a category (e.g., "Beverages" under Kitchen).
Brand/Supplier	Text	Name of the brand or vendor (e.g., “Green Earth Coffee Co.”).
Quantity on Hand	Numeric (Whole Numbers)	Current stock count. Updated via purchases and usage logs.
Unit of Measure	List (Dropdown)	Units like "pcs", "kg", "liters", "packs" for accurate tracking.
Reorder Threshold	Numeric	Minimum stock level to trigger a reorder alert.
Last Replenished Date	Date	When the item was last restocked.
Next Expected Delivery	Date (Formula-based)	Automatically calculated from purchase order dates and delivery timelines.
Status	Text (with Conditional Formatting)	Shows: “In Stock”, “Low Stock”, or “Out of Stock” based on thresholds.

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and automate routine tasks:

Status Column Formula: =IF(Quantity on Hand < Reorder Threshold, "Low Stock", IF(Quantity on Hand = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
Auto-increment Item ID: Uses a formula like =MAX(INVENTORY_MASTER[Item ID])+1 (assuming structured table).
Next Expected Delivery: =IF(LEN([Last Replenished Date])=0, "N/A", [Last Replenished Date] + 30) — assumes 30-day cycle.
Total Inventory Value (Optional): =Quantity on Hand * Unit Price (if unit price is added).

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight critical inventory states:

Low Stock Status: Red background with black text.
Out of Stock: Dark red fill with bold text.
In Stock (Above Threshold): Light green fill.
Last Replenished Date: Color-coded by age—green for within 15 days, yellow for 16–30 days, red for older than 30 days.
