Formulas Required
- Cash Flow Impact: In the Inventory Ledger, use:
=IF(Type="In", - (Quantity * Purchase Cost per Unit), IF(Type="Out", Quantity * Sale Price per Unit, 0)) - Running Balance: Use a cumulative sum across time to track net cash impact:
=SUM($H$2:H2)(assuming H column holds the Cash Flow Impact). - Ending Inventory Value: Use SUMIFS to calculate total value of remaining stock based on Product Code and Type="In" minus "Out":
=SUMIFS(Total Cost, Product Code, A2, Type, "In") - SUMIFS(Total Cost, Product Code, A2, Type,"Out") - Cash Flow Forecast (Sheet: Cash Flow Forecast): Use monthly summary formulas to project net cash flow:
=SUMIFS('Inventory Ledger'!Cash Flow Impact, 'Inventory Ledger'!Date, ">=start_date", 'Inventory Ledger'!Date, "<=end_date") + Fixed Expenses
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock Warning: Highlight rows in Inventory Ledger where Quantity ≤ Reorder Level (set in settings). Use formula:
=C2 <= $Z$1 (assuming Z1 is reorder threshold) - Cash Flow Thresholds: In Dashboard, color cells red if projected cash flow < $0 or green if > $0.
- Overdue POs: Highlight Purchase Order rows where Delivery Expected Date is in the past and Status ≠ "Delivered".
