Supply List Sheet: Table Structure & Data Fields

The core of this template resides in the "Supply List" sheet. It features a well-structured table with consistent data types to ensure accuracy and scalability.

Formulas and Automation

The template uses several formulas to automate data processing and improve usability:

• Status Column Formula: =IF([Current Quantity in Stock] >= [Reorder Threshold], "In Stock", IF([Current Quantity in Stock] < [Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", "Out of Stock"))
• Next Reorder Date: =IF(AND([Current Quantity in Stock]<[Reorder Threshold], [Last Purchased Date]<>"", ISNUMBER([Last Purchased Date])), [Last Purchased Date] + 30, "")
• Item ID Auto-generation: =CONCAT("SL-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")) (applied in the first row and dragged down).
• Total Items in Stock: Use a simple SUM formula on the "Current Quantity in Stock" column to calculate total household inventory.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical items, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Alert: If Status = "Low Stock", cells in the row turn yellow with bold text.
• Out of Stock Alert: If Status = "Out of Stock", entire row is highlighted in red with white text.
• Beyond Reorder Date: If Next Expected Reorder Date is earlier than today, the date cell turns red to indicate urgent action needed.
