Required Formulas
- CURRENT STOCK LEVEL: Calculated from the Stock Movements Log using SUMIFS to aggregate all quantities for each Item ID.
- REORDER POINT ALERT: =IF(Current Stock Level <= Reorder Point, "Reorder Needed", "")
- ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ): =SQRT((2*Annual Demand*Ordering Cost)/Holding Cost) – calculated using average annual usage from historical data.
- LAST UPDATED DATE: =NOW() (with VBA trigger or manual refresh; best practice is to use a timestamp macro).
- DAILY STOCK TURNOVER: =Annual Usage / Average Inventory Level
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock Alert: Highlight cells in "Current Stock Level" column red when value is less than or equal to Reorder Point.
- Critical Threshold: Apply bold red font if stock level drops below 25% of reorder point.
- Expiry Date Warning: If applicable, highlight items with expiry dates within 30 days (use date comparison).
- Duplicate Item IDs: Flag duplicate entries in the Item ID column using conditional formatting rules to prevent data entry errors.
User Instructions
- Open the Excel file and enable macros if prompted (required for timestamp automation).
- Navigate to "Inventory Master List" – input all items using the dropdowns for consistent categorization.
- Update "Stock Movements Log" after every purchase, sale, or adjustment; ensure correct Item ID matching.
- Use the "Reorder Alerts" sheet to view recommended restocking orders based on current data.
