Sheet Name

Inventory & Bill Tracker (One Page)

This is the sole sheet within the workbook. All data, formulas, formatting, and visual elements are consolidated into this single tab to ensure maximum efficiency and ease of use—meeting the "one page" design requirement without sacrificing functionality.

Table Structure

The template consists of a dynamic table with two primary sections:

Inventory Items & Bill Tracking Table: A single, expandable data table spanning rows 5 to 70.
Summary Dashboard Section: Positioned at the top (rows 1–4), this area displays key performance indicators and summary statistics.

Columns and Data Types

The main data table includes the following columns, each with defined data types and input validation:

Column	Data Type / Format	Description & Validation
Bill ID (B)	Text (Alphanumeric, 10-character max)	Unique identifier for each bill. Example: "BIL-2024-078". Auto-increments using a simple formula.
Date Received (C)	Date (DD/MM/YYYY)	When the bill was received. Uses Data Validation to ensure correct date format.
Supplier Name (D)	Text (50 characters max)	Name of the vendor or supplier. Auto-suggests from a named list for consistency.
Item Description (E)	Text (100 characters max)	Description of the goods/services received. E.g., "Wireless Headphones - Model X5".
Quantity Received (F)	Numeric (Integer, 0–9999)	Number of units received. Must be a positive whole number.
Unit Cost (£) (G)	Currency (£), 2 decimal places	Cost per unit as specified on the bill. Input validated to allow only numbers.
Total Bill Amount (£) (H)	Currency (£), 2 decimal places	Auto-calculated: =F*G
Payment Status (I)	Text: "Paid", "Pending", "Overdue"	Dropdown list with validation. Default is “Pending”.
Due Date (J)	Date (DD/MM/YYYY)	Expected payment deadline. Uses date validation and conditional formatting for overdue items.
Inventory Status (K)	Text: "In Stock", "Low Stock", "Out of Stock"	Dynamically updated based on current stock level. Automatically reflects inventory health.

Formulas Required

Several formulas are embedded to automate calculations and ensure data accuracy:

Total Bill Amount (H5): =F5*G5
Inventory Status (K5):
```
=IF(AND(F5>0, F5<=10), "Low Stock", IF(F5=0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
```
This formula evaluates stock levels based on quantity received.
Payment Status (I5):
```
=IF(J5<TODAY(), IF(I5="Paid", "Paid", "Overdue"), I5)
```
Auto-updates to “Overdue” if the due date has passed and payment isn't marked.
Auto-incrementing Bill ID (B2):
```
=IF(ROWS(B$5:B5)=1, "BIL-2024-001", TEXT(ROW()-4, "BIL-YYYY-00#"))
```
Generates sequential IDs based on row number.
Summarized Totals (in Dashboard):
- Total Bills: =COUNTA(B5:B70)
- Total Spend (£): =SUM(H5:H70)
- Pending Payments: =COUNTIF(I5:I70, "Pending")
- Overdue Bills: =COUNTIF(I5:I70, "Overdue")

Conditional Formatting

Overdue Bills: Cells in column I and J are highlighted in red if the due date is before today and payment status is not “Paid”.
Low Stock Items: Rows with "Low Stock" in column K are shaded yellow.
Highest Spending Item: The top 3 bills by amount (column H) are highlighted in light green for quick identification.
Date Formatting: Dates that fall in the next 7 days are shown with a yellow background.
