Key Formulas
- Available Quantity (Inventory Master List, G2):
=E2-F2 - Status Color Coding (Project Task Tracker, H column): Conditional formatting based on dropdown value.
- Reorder Alert Flag (Inventory Master List, M2 in Alerts & Replenishment sheet):
=IF(G2<=H2,"Low Stock","OK") - Total Inventory Value (Project Overview):
=SUMPRODUCT(InventoryMasterList!E:E, InventoryMasterList!P:P)where column P holds unit cost. - Task Progress % (Project Task Tracker):
=IF(TODAY()>=D2, IF(TODAY()>=E2,"100%",(TODAY()-D2+1)/F2*100), "N/A") - Inventory Usage Tracker: Uses INDEX-MATCH to pull real-time usage data from multiple sources.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock Items: Highlight cells in the “Available Quantity” column in red if value ≤ Reorder Point.
- Overdue Tasks: If task end date has passed and status ≠ "Completed", highlight row yellow.
- Pending Inventory Requests: Tasks with "Fulfilled?" = No and current date ≥ Requested Date are highlighted in orange.
- Status Indicators: Use color-coded icons (traffic light system) for task statuses: red (Not Started), yellow (In Progress), green (Completed).
User Instructions
- Open the template and enable macros if prompted.
- Step 1: Populate the "Inventory Master List" with all current inventory items. Use data validation for consistency.
- Step 2: Create new projects in "Project Task Tracker" using the dropdown list from Project Overview.
- Step 3: For each task requiring materials, enter Item ID and required quantity in columns I and J. The template auto-calculates committed stock.
- Step 4: Update inventory usage via the "Inventory Usage Log" when items are consumed (date, task ID, item ID, quantity used).
- Step 5: Review the "Alerts & Replenishment" sheet for reorder recommendations. Export to procurement system if needed.
