Required Formulas
The template includes several essential formulas for accurate automation:

- High Stock Levels: If Closing Stock > 150% of average monthly sales, highlight in red.
- Low Turnover Ratio: If Inventory Turnover < 2.0, apply yellow background to flag slow-moving inventory.
- Spike in Carrying Costs: If total carrying cost exceeds budget by >15%, highlight in orange.
- Dashboards: Use color scales for KPIs (e.g., green for high turnover, red for low).
