=PO_Date + [Lead Time]. - Current Stock Level Update: In the Inventory Tracking sheet, a formula updates stock dynamically:
=Current Stock Level - SUMIFS(Usage!$C$2:$C$100, Usage!$B$2:$B$100, [Item ID]) + SUMIFS(Procurement!$D:$D, Procurement!$E:$E, [Item ID], Procurement!$F:$F, ">="&TODAY()) - Status Indicator:
=IF([EndDate]<TODAY(), "Delayed", IF([Status]="Completed", "Completed", IF(AND([StartDate]<=TODAY(), [EndDate]>=TODAY()), "Active", "On Hold"))) - Reorder Alert Flag:
=IF(Current Stock Level < Reorder Point, "Reorder Needed", "")
Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual awareness of critical data:- Inventories below reorder point: Red fill with bold text.
