TABULAR STRUCTURE AND DATA FIELDS
1. Inventory Tracking Sheet (Main Data Source)
This sheet captures all inventory transactions in chronological order. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Transaction ID | Text/Number (Auto-incremented) | Unique identifier for each transaction | | Date | Date | Transaction date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | SKU | Text/Number (Reference to Item Master) | Stock Keeping Unit of the product | | Product Name | Text | Name of the product from Item Master | | Category | Text/Enum (Dropdown List) | e.g., Electronics, Apparel, Office Supplies | | Quantity In / Out | Number (Positive/Negative) | Positive for receipts; negative for sales or adjustments | | Cost per Unit (USD) | Currency ($0.00) | Purchase cost per unit | | Total Cost Amount (USD) | Currency ($0.00) | = Quantity * Cost per Unit | | Transaction Type | Text (Dropdown: Receive, Sale, Adjustment, Return) | Specifies transaction type | | Supplier/Vendor (if applicable) | Text | Name of supplier or source |2. Item Master Sheet (Reference Table)
This sheet maintains static product data used across the workbook. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | SKU | Text/Number (Primary Key) | Unique identifier for each product | | Product Name | Text | Full name of the item | | Category | Text/Enum (Dropdown) | Classification of inventory | | Reorder Level (Units) | Number (Positive Integer) | Threshold at which restocking is recommended | | Reorder Quantity (Units) | Number (Positive Integer) | Standard order size when stock reaches reorder level | | Unit Cost Price (USD) | Currency ($0.00) | Current cost per unit from supplier | | Current Stock Level (Units) | Number (Auto-calculated via formula in Dashboard sheet or Inventory Tracking sheet total sum by SKU) | Reflects real-time available stock |FORMULAS REQUIRED
The template uses a combination of VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, INDEX/MATCH, and dynamic array formulas to automate calculations.- Current Stock Level (in Item Master):
=SUMIFS('Inventory Tracking'!$F:$F,'Inventory Tracking'!$C:$C,[@SKU],'Inventory Tracking'!$E:$E,">0") - SUMIFS('Inventory Tracking'!$F:$F,'Inventory Tracking'!$C:$C,[@SKU],'Inventory Tracking'!$E:$E,"<0")
This formula calculates total stock on hand by summing all incoming receipts and subtracting outgoing sales/adjustments for each SKU. - Total Inventory Value (Dashboard):
=SUMPRODUCT(Inventory Tracking!$F:$F, Inventory Tracking!$D:$D)
Multiplies quantity by cost per unit across all transactions to get total inventory value. - Inventory Turnover Ratio (Dashboard):
=ROUND(SUMIFS('Inventory Tracking'!$F:$F,'Inventory Tracking'!$E:$E,"<0") / AVERAGE(Opening Inventory, Closing Inventory), 2)
Calculates how many times inventory is sold and replaced over a given period. - Days of Supply (Dashboard):
=ROUND((SUM('Item Master'!$G:$G) / AVERAGE(SUMIFS('Inventory Tracking'!$F:$F,'Inventory Tracking'!$E:$E,"<0"), SUMIFS('Inventory Tracking'!$F:$F,'Inventory Tracking'!$E:$E,">0"))) * 365, 1)
Estimates how many days current stock will last based on average usage.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
To enhance visual cues and promote quick decision-making:- Low Stock Warning: Highlight any item in the Item Master where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Level using red fill.
- Inactive Items: If an item has zero sales (total quantity out = 0) for more than 90 days, apply light gray background with bold text.
- High Turnover Items: Use green gradient fill for SKUs with turnover ratio > 6.0 to highlight fast-moving products.
- Overstocked Items: Apply yellow highlight where current stock exceeds 2x reorder quantity (potential overstock).
