Essential Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel functions for real-time inventory control: - **Total Revenue (Sales Log)**: `=Quantity Sold * Selling Price per Unit` - **Current Stock Level (Product Catalog)**: ``` =Original Stock - SUMIF(Sales Log[Product Code], Product Code, Sales Log[Quantity Sold]) ``` - **Reorder Indicator**: ``` =IF(Current Stock Level <= Reorder Point, "REORDER", "") ``` - **Inventory Turnover Rate (Dashboard)**: ``` =Total Sales Quantity / AVERAGE(Current Stock Level) ``` Conditional formatting rules are applied to highlight items with low stock, high turnover, or recent delays.

Conditional Formatting Rules

- Red fill with black text for products where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point. - Green fill for products with stock level above 150% of reorder point. - Yellow highlight for sales entries older than 7 days (indicating pending status). - Color scale on Total Revenue to visually represent high vs. low-performing items.

The Inventory Dashboard refreshes automatically and displays KPIs such as Total Revenue, Stock Turnover, and Low-Stock Alerts.
