Formulas Required

The template incorporates several built-in formulas to ensure automation and reduce manual errors:

• Status Indicator Formula: =IF(CURRENT_QUANTITY >= REORDER_THRESHOLD, "In Stock", IF(CURRENT_QUANTITY <= 1, "Out of Stock", "Low Stock"))
• Next Expected Purchase Date: =IF(LAST_PURCHASE_DATE="","", LAST_PURCHASE_DATE + 30) (Assumes monthly usage; can be adjusted).
• Days Since Last Purchase: =IF(LAST_PURCHASE_DATE="","", TODAY() - LAST_PURCHASE_DATE)
• Auto-Increment ID Number: Uses a helper column with formula: =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "S000") (assumes A2 contains the first entry).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual data interpretation, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Items: Highlight cells in red if Current Quantity is less than or equal to 1.
• Out of Stock Items: Apply bold red text and yellow fill for items with zero quantity.
• Status Column: Color-code the "Status" column using:
  • "In Stock" → Green
  • "Low Stock" → Orange
