Table Structures and Columns (Supply List - Main Sheet)

Formulas Required

• Last Stock Check Date (Auto): Use =TODAY() in a cell linked to the row update event via VBA or manual input, but best placed as a timestamp field using Excel’s built-in date functions.
• Next Reorder Due: Formula: =IF(Current Quantity <= Reorder Level, TODAY() + 7, "N/A"). Suggests reordering in 7 days if below threshold.
• Status (Conditional): Use a nested IF with AND functions:
  =IF(Current Quantity = 0, "Out of Stock", IF(Current Quantity <= Reorder Level, "Low Stock", IF(AND(Current Quantity > Reorder Level, Current Quantity < 1.5 * Reorder Level), "In Stock (Near Threshold)", "In Stock")))

Conditional Formatting

Apply color-coded rules to enhance visual clarity in the Manager View:

• Red Fill: If Status = "Out of Stock" or Current Quantity = 0.
• Yellow Fill: If Status = "Low Stock".
• Pink Highlight: For items with “Next Reorder Due” within the next 3 days.
