Formulas Required

The template uses powerful formulas for automation and accuracy:

Auto-generated Item ID: =TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") → combined with “INV-” prefix via concatenation.
Total Value (Inventory): =[@[Current Stock Quantity]] * [@Unit Cost]
Reorder Alert Logic: =IF([@[Current Stock Quantity]] <=[@[Reorder Level]], "REORDER", "OK")
Total Business Revenue: =SUMIF('Financial Tracker'[Cash Flow Type], "Business", 'Financial Tracker'[Amount])
Net Profit (Monthly): =SUMIFS('Financial Tracker'[Amount], 'Financial Tracker'[Type of Transaction], "Income") - SUMIFS('Financial Tracker'[Amount], 'Financial Tracker'[Type of Transaction], "Expense")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance usability and visual clarity:

Low Stock Alert (Inventory Ledger): Highlight rows where Current Stock Quantity < Reorder Level with red fill and bold text.
High Expense Alerts: Apply yellow background to any transaction amount > $500 in the Financial Tracker, if categorized as "Expense".
