The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and automation:- Auto-update of Current Stock Quantity: In the "Product Inventory Master" sheet, cell for Current Stock updates via:
=SUMIF(Transaction Log!$B:$B, [SKU], Transaction Log!$E:$E) - Reorder Flag Indicator: Uses a conditional formula to highlight items below reorder point:
=IF([Current Stock Quantity] <= [Reorder Point], "Yes", "No") - Daily/Weekly Trend Calculation (in Dashboard):
=SUMIFS(Transaction Log!$E:$E, Transaction Log!$C:$C, ">="&TODAY()-7, Transaction Log!$B:$B, [SKU], Transaction Log!$D:$D, "Out")This calculates units sold in the last 7 days. - Inventory Value Calculation:
=[Current Stock Quantity] * [Unit Cost]per product and aggregated across all items. - Auto-incrementing Transaction ID:
=IF(ISBLANK(B2), MAX($A$2:$A$100)+1, B2)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and visual prioritization, the following formatting rules are applied:- Stock Level Alerts: If Current Stock Quantity is below Reorder Point → Highlight cell in red.
- High Inventory Risk: If Current Stock > 200% of Reorder Point → Highlight in yellow (overstock warning).
- Reorder Needed: In the "Reorder Recommendations" sheet, apply green fill to items with "Yes" in the Reorder Flag column.
- Transaction Log Color Coding: Use blue for incoming stock, red for outgoing sales, gray for adjustments.
