Table Structures & Columns

Sheet: Inventory Management

Sheet: Debt Budget Tracker

Sheet: Monthly Financial Summary

This sheet pulls data from both Inventory and Debt Budget sheets to compute:

• Total Inventory Value (sum of all "Total Inventory Value" entries)
• Total Debt Obligations (sum of "Monthly Payment" values)
• Net Working Capital = Total Inventory Value – Total Remaining Debt Balance
• Debt-to-Inventory Ratio: A critical KPI indicating financial leverage against inventory assets.

Formulas Required

All formulas are pre-built and fully editable. Key calculations include:

• Total Inventory Value: =Current Stock Qty * Purchase Unit Cost
• Monthly Payment (for loans): Using PMT function: =PMT(Interest Rate/12, Total Months, -Principal Amount)
• Remaining Balance: Uses a running total based on payment history and amortization.
• Status Indicator (Inventory): Nested IF with logical checks against Reorder Level.
• Net Working Capital: =SUM(Inventory Values) - SUM(Remaining Balances)

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual clarity and alerts:

• Low Stock Alerts: If “Current Stock Qty” is less than “Reorder Level,” cells turn yellow.
• Out of Stock: Cells turn red if stock is zero or negative.
• Overdue Debt: Rows in Debt Tracker highlight in red if "Due Date" has passed and status is not "Paid Off".
• High Ratio Warning: If the Debt-to-Inventory Ratio exceeds 1.0, the cell turns orange.
