Whether managing a single-person apartment or an entire family home, this tool streamlines supply management with smart design and actionable insights.

Sheet Names

1. Main Supply List (Planning View): The core sheet where all inventory data is tracked, with real-time status indicators and automated calculations.
2. Reorder Recommendations: Automatically generates a prioritized list of items needing restocking based on current inventory and usage patterns.
3. Monthly Usage Dashboard: Visualizes supply consumption trends over time, helping predict future needs and identify waste or over-purchasing.
4. Categories & Suppliers: A reference sheet listing all supply categories, preferred suppliers, and notes for procurement planning.
5. Instructions & Tips: A guide sheet with user instructions, template tips, and examples to ensure optimal usage.

Table Structure & Columns (Main Supply List)

The central table in the Main Supply List (Planning View) sheet is structured as a dynamic inventory database with the following columns: | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each supply item. Auto-increments for consistency. | | Product Name | Text (up to 50 characters) | The name of the household item (e.g., "Toilet Paper", "Dish Soap"). | | Category | Dropdown List (from Sheet 4) | Categorizes items like Cleaning Supplies, Kitchen Staples, Personal Care, etc. | | Current Stock Count | Number (Whole Number) | The current physical quantity on hand. | | Reorder Threshold | Number (Whole Number) | The minimum stock level that triggers a restock reminder. Default: 3 units for consumables. | | Unit of Measure (UOM) | Dropdown List (e.g., Units, Rolls, Liters, Boxes) | Defines how the item is measured and purchased. | | Last Purchase Date | Date Field (DD/MM/YYYY) | Tracks when the last refill occurred. | | Next Expected Use Date | Formula-Based (Date) | Predicts when stock will be depleted based on average usage per week. | | Status Indicator (Auto) | Text/Conditional Color Code | Displays "In Stock", "Low Stock", or "Critical" based on current quantity vs threshold. | | Notes | Text (Optional, up to 200 characters) | For special instructions like brand preference or allergen warnings. |

Formulas Required

Several formulas ensure automation and real-time accuracy:

Status Indicator: =IF(CurrentStockCount <= ReorderThreshold, IF(CurrentStockCount = 0, "Critical", "Low Stock"), "In Stock")
Next Expected Use Date: =IF(OR(ISBLANK(LastPurchaseDate), CurrentStockCount=0), "", LastPurchaseDate + (CurrentStockCount / AverageWeeklyUsage) * 7)
Note: AverageWeeklyUsage is derived from usage history in the Dashboard.
Days Until Depletion: =IF(AND(StatusIndicator="Low Stock", NextExpectedUseDate<>""), DATEDIF(TODAY(), NextExpectedUseDate, "d"), "")

These formulas ensure that users receive timely warnings and predictive insights without manual calculation.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and immediate identification of critical items:

Low Stock: Background color: Yellow (hex #FFF2CC)
Critical Stock: Background color: Red (hex #FFC7CE), bold text
Next Expected Use Date < 7 days from today: Shaded in light orange to highlight urgency.
Items with Empty Notes Field: Optional formatting for reminders to update information.

This visual hierarchy allows users to scan the list at a glance and focus on urgent needs.

User Instructions

1. **Set Up**: Begin by populating the "Categories & Suppliers" sheet with all relevant categories and supplier names. 2. **Add Items**: Enter new supplies in the "Main Supply List" sheet, filling in all fields accurately. 3. **Update Stock Count**: After each purchase or usage, adjust the Current Stock Count accordingly. 4. **Set Reorder Thresholds**: Customize thresholds per item based on consumption rate and preference (e.g., 1 unit for spices; 5 rolls for toilet paper). 5. **Use Dashboard**: Regularly review the Monthly Usage Dashboard to spot trends and adjust reorder thresholds. 6. **Generate Orders**: Use the Reorder Recommendations sheet as a shopping list template, filtered by "Low Stock" or "Critical" status.

Recommended Charts & Dashboards

The Monthly Usage Dashboard includes the following visual tools:

Bar Chart – Monthly Consumption by Category: Compares how much of each category was used per month, helping identify overuse or under-purchase.
Pie Chart – Current Inventory Distribution: Shows percentage of total items in each category (e.g., 40% Cleaning, 30% Kitchen).
Line Graph – Stock Level Trends Over Time: Tracks key high-usage items to predict future needs and avoid running out.

These charts are dynamically linked to the main data, updating automatically when new entries are added.
