3. Reorder Alerts

This sheet uses formulas to scan the Inventory Tracker and auto-flag items needing restocking: - Column: Alert Status → Displays “Low Stock” if current quantity ≤ reorder level. - Column: Suggested Order Qty → Formula calculates (Reorder Level - Current Quantity) + 10% buffer.

Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded for automation and real-time financial tracking:

Total Value ($): =IF(AND(COUNTA([@Quantity in Stock])>0, COUNTA([@Unit Price])>0), [@Quantity in Stock] * [@Unit Price], 0)
Suggested Order Qty: =MAX(0, [@Reorder Level (Qty)] - [@Quantity in Stock]) + ROUNDUP(([@Reorder Level (Qty)] - [@Quantity in Stock]) * 0.1, 0)
Monthly Spending Total: In Financial Dashboard: =SUMIFS(UsageLog[Quantity Used], UsageLog[Date Used], ">=1/4/2024", UsageLog[Date Used], "<=30/4/2024") * AVERAGEIF(InventoryTracker[Item ID], UsageLog[@Item ID Ref.], InventoryTracker[Unit Price])
Current Inventory Value (Total): In Financial Dashboard: =SUM(InventoryTracker[Total Value ($)])
Expiry Date Warning: (Optional) If an "Expiry Date" column is added, use: =IF([@Expiry Date] <= TODAY() + 30, "Expires Soon", "")

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Alert: Apply red fill to any row where “Quantity in Stock” ≤ “Reorder Level (Qty)”.
Budget Overrun Indicator: In Budget Planner sheet, highlight cells in red if actual spending exceeds the budgeted amount.
Trend Color Coding: Use data bars in Financial Dashboard to visualize monthly spending trends—red for high spend, green for low.
Expiry Warning: If applicable, highlight items with expiry date within 30 days using yellow background.
