Formulas and Automation
This template leverages advanced Excel functions for real-time accuracy:- =IF([@Current Stock Quantity] <= [@Reorder Point], "REORDER", "OK"): In the Reorder & Alerts sheet, this formula flags items that need reordering.
- =SUMIFS(Stock Movement Log[Quantity], Stock Movement Log[Product ID], Inventory Master List[@Product ID], Stock Movement Log[Type], "IN"): Calculates total received stock for each product.
- =SUMIFS(..., [Type], "OUT"): Computes total issued or sold stock.
- =VLOOKUP() / XLOOKUP(): Used in the Reorder & Alerts sheet to pull supplier details and lead times automatically.
- =IFERROR(IF([@Stock Status] = "REORDER", TODAY() + [@Lead Time], ""), ""): Calculates expected restock date if reordered.
- =SUMPRODUCT((Inventory Master List[Current Stock Quantity]) * (Inventory Master List[Unit Cost])): Computes total inventory value in the dashboard.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhanced visual feedback is achieved through:- Red Fill with White Text: Applies to cells where Current Stock Quantity ≤ Reorder Point.
- Yellow Highlight: For items where stock is between 80% and 100% of reorder point (warning zone).
- Green Highlight: Items with adequate stock levels (> Reorder Point).
- Data Bars: Visual representation of inventory quantity across products.
