Sheet Names & Purpose

Dashboard (Main Summary): A real-time overview of key performance indicators including current inventory value, projected cash flow, stock turnover rate, and alert status for low-stock or overstock items.
Inventory Transactions: Historical and active records of all inventory inflows (purchases) and outflows (sales/returns). This is the primary data source for both inventory and cash flow calculations.
Purchase Orders & Vendor Data: Tracks outstanding purchase orders, lead times, vendor payment terms, and expected delivery dates. Critical for forecasting future cash outflows.
Cash Flow Projections (Monthly): A detailed monthly breakdown of cash inflows (sales receipts) and outflows (inventory purchases, operational costs). Used to align inventory orders with available liquidity.
Stock Levels & Alerts: Real-time tracking of current stock on hand, reorder points, safety stock levels. Includes automatic alerts for items below or above threshold values.
Data Version History: A log of all changes made to the template (timestamp, user ID, change description). Ensures full auditability and traceability across data versions.

Table Structures & Columns (with Data Types)

The core data structures are built with accuracy and scalability in mind:

1. Inventory Transactions Table (Sheet: Inventory Transactions)

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Transaction ID | Text/Unique ID | Auto-generated, e.g., INV-2024-0987 | | Date of Transaction | Date | YYYY-MM-DD format | | Item Code / SKU | Text/Number | Unique product identifier | | Item Name | Text | Full description of the product | | Type (In/Out) | Dropdown (In, Out) | Indicates whether item entered or left inventory | | Quantity Change | Number (Positive/Negative) | + for purchase, - for sales/return | | Unit Cost (USD) | Currency ($) | Historical cost per unit at time of entry | | Total Value (USD) | Formula-based ($=Quantity * Unit Cost) | Automatic calculation based on quantity and cost | | Source / Destination | Text (e.g., Vendor Name, Customer ID, Location) | For traceability and audit purposes |

2. Purchase Orders & Vendor Data Table

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | PO Number | Text/Unique ID | e.g., PO-2024-101 | | Vendor Name | Text | Supplier or vendor name | | Item Code (SKU) | Text/Number | Links to inventory item | | Quantity Ordered | Number | Total units ordered | | Order Date (Placed) | Date | When the purchase order was issued | | Expected Delivery Date | Date | Based on lead time and order date | | Payment Terms (Net Days) | Number (e.g., 30, 60) | Days allowed before payment is due | | Total PO Value ($) | Formula ($=Quantity * Unit Cost) | Auto-calculated value from unit cost and quantity | | Status (Open, Delivered, Invoiced) | Dropdown (Open, Delivered, Invoiced) | Tracks order lifecycle |

3. Cash Flow Projections Table

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Month-Year | Date (Month-YYYY) | e.g., January 2025 | | Projected Sales Revenue ($) | Currency ($) | Forecasted revenue from inventory sales | | Inventory Purchase Outflows ($) | Formula ($=SUM of all POs due this month) | Based on vendor payment terms and delivery dates | | Other Operating Expenses ($) | Currency ($) | Rent, salaries, utilities (user-defined) | | Net Cash Flow (Forecasted) ($) | Formula (=Sales - Purchases - Other Expenses) | Real-time projection for the month |

Formulas Required

Inventory Valuation: =SUMIFS(InventoryTransactions[Total Value], InventoryTransactions[Item Code], A2) – Calculates total value of a specific item.
Purchase Outflows by Month: Use SUMIFS to aggregate all purchase order values due in each month based on Expected Delivery Date.
Cash Flow Projection: =B2 - C2 - D2, where B = Sales Revenue, C = Inventory Purchases, D = Other Expenses.
Stock Level Calculation: Use running totals via SUMIFS on the Transaction table: =SUMIFS(InventoryTransactions[Quantity Change], InventoryTransactions[Item Code], A2).
Status Tracking: Conditional logic using =IF(ISBLANK(D2), "Pending", IF(TODAY() > D2, "Overdue", "On Time")) for PO status.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Alert: Apply red fill to items where Current Stock ≤ Reorder Point.
Cash Flow Danger Zone: If Net Cash Flow is negative, highlight cell in red; if less than 10% of projected revenue, use orange.
Purchase Order Overdue: Highlight POs where Expected Delivery Date is before today and Status ≠ Delivered.
High Inventory Value: Use data bars on Total Value column to visualize high-value items.
