Formulas Required

The template employs advanced Excel functions to maintain accuracy and automation:

• Current On-Hand Quantity (Master List): =SUMIF('Transaction Log'!C:C, [Item ID], 'Transaction Log'!E:E) — Dynamically updates the on-hand balance.
• Average Unit Cost: =AVERAGEIF('Transaction Log'!C:C, [Item ID], 'Transaction Log'!D:D)
• Inventory Value (Sheet 4): =SUMPRODUCT(Inventory Master List[Current On-Hand Quantity], Inventory Master List[Unit Cost (Average)])
• Stockout Alert (Conditional Logic): =IF([Current On-Hand] < [Safety Stock], "CRITICAL", IF([Current On-Hand] < [Reorder Point], "REORDER", "OK"))
• Inventory Turnover Ratio (Sheet 3): =Total Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory Value
• Purchase Order Suggestions: =IF([Current On-Hand] < [Reorder Point], [Reorder Point] - [Current On-Hand], 0)
