  • Dashboard Summary: Visual overview showing key performance indicators (KPIs), inventory trends, and alerts for low-stock items.

Formulas Required

The template leverages key Excel formulas for automation and accuracy:

  • Total Cost (Orders Tracker):
    = [Quantity Ordered] * [Unit Price]
  • Product Name Lookup (Orders Tracker):
    =VLOOKUP([Product ID], Inventory Levels!$A:$G, 2, FALSE)
  • Current Stock Update (Inventory Levels):
    =SUMIFS(Orders Tracker!$F:$F, Orders Tracker!$C:$C, [Product ID], Orders Tracker!$H:$H, "Received")
  • Reorder Alert (Inventory Levels):
    =IF([Current Stock] < [Reorder Level], "Low Stock", "Normal")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance usability, the template includes:

  • Low-Stock Items (Inventory Levels): Red background with white text for rows where Current Stock < Reorder Level.
  • Pending Orders (Orders Tracker): Yellow fill for Status = "Pending".
  • High-Cost Orders: Orange highlight for Total Cost above a user-defined threshold (e.g., $1,000).

User Instructions

To use the template effectively:

  1. Populate the Inventory Levels sheet with all products, quantities, and reorder points.
  2. Add new orders in the Orders Tracker by filling in details. Use dropdowns for consistency.

  5. Review the Dashboard Summary weekly for reorder alerts and spending trends.
