Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Master Sheet)

The core of the template is the "Inventory Master" sheet, which functions as a centralized database for all household stock items. The table structure includes:

Column Name	Data Type	Description
Item ID	Text/Number (Auto-generated)	Unique identifier for each stock item (e.g., H001, H002).
Item Name	Text	Description of the product (e.g., "Organic Rice", "Toilet Paper – 12 Rolls").
Category	Dropdown List (Pantry, Cleaning, Personal Care, Medical, Tools)	Categorizes the item for easy filtering and reporting.
Brand/Supplier	Text	Type of supplier or brand name.
Unit of Measure	Dropdown (Pack, Box, Roll, Bottle, Piece)	Selects the standard unit for inventory tracking.
Current Quantity	Numeric (Integer)	Real-time count of available units in stock.
Reorder Level	Numeric (Integer)	Threshold quantity that triggers reorder alerts.
Last Updated	Date/Time (Auto-filled)	Timestamp of last inventory update.
Status	Text (e.g., In Stock, Low Stock, Out of Stock)	Automatically updated based on current quantity vs. reorder level.

Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate stock tracking:

=IF(CurrentQuantity <= ReorderLevel, "Low Stock", IF(CurrentQuantity = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) – Dynamically updates the Status column based on thresholds.
=COUNTA(StockMovementLog[Item ID]) – Tracks total number of transactions per item.
=SUMIFS(StockMovementLog[Quantity], StockMovementLog[Item ID], InventoryMaster[@ID], StockMovementLog[Transaction Type], "Out") – Calculates total consumed units for each item.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(ItemID, StockMovementLog, 4, FALSE), 0) – Pulls latest transaction details.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and usability:

Low Stock Alert: Cells in "Current Quantity" are highlighted in yellow if below Reorder Level.
Out of Stock: Red background with white text when quantity = 0.
Status Column: Green for "In Stock", orange for "Low Stock", red for "Out of Stock".
Recent Updates: Rows with Last Updated date within the last 7 days are highlighted in light blue.
