Key Formulas Used in the Template
- Status Logic:

=SUMIFS(ReplenishmentLog!$C:$C, ReplenishmentLog!$B:$B, InventoryMaster!A2) - SUMIFS(UsageLog!$C:$C, UsageLog!$B:$B, InventoryMaster!A2) - Monthly Spend by Category:
=SUMIFS(RecentPurchases&ReplenishmentLog!$F:$F, RecentPurchases&ReplenishmentLog!$C:$C, "Cleaning")
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template leverages conditional formatting to enhance usability and alert users visually:
- Expiring Soon: Background color: Orange; Bold text.
- Low Stock: Background color: Light Red; Flashing border.
- Out of Stock: Background color: Dark Red; Text in white.
- Last Purchase Date > 90 days ago: Highlighted in yellow to indicate inactive items needing review.

- Review Dashboard: Check "Stock Alert Dashboard" weekly for actionable alerts (low stock, expiring items).
- Schedule Updates: Set a reminder to review and update inventory every 1-2 weeks.
- Maintain Data Integrity: Avoid deleting rows; instead, mark items as "Discontinued" or use the archive tab if available in future versions.
