4. Monthly Reports
5. Instructions & Help Guide

Each sheet is purpose-built for a specific function within the inventory control and sales tracking workflow.

Sheet 1: Sales Log (Core Tracking Sheet)

This is the primary data entry sheet where daily sales transactions are recorded. It operates as a real-time ledger for all product sales, ensuring up-to-date inventory status.

Column	Data Type	Description
Date & Time	Date/Time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)	Timestamp of the transaction. Automatically formatted using Excel’s date-time function.
Transaction ID	Text (Auto-incrementing number)	A unique identifier for each sale (e.g., S001, S002). Generated automatically with a formula.
Product Name	Text	Name of the product sold. Can be selected from a drop-down list linked to the Inventory Master.
Category	Text (Dropdown List)	Product category (e.g., Electronics, Apparel, Stationery).
Quantity Sold	Numeric (Integer)	Number of units sold in this transaction.
Sale Price per Unit	Currency ($ or local equivalent)	Price charged to the customer for one unit.
Total Sale Amount	Currency (Formula-based)	Calculated as: Quantity Sold × Sale Price per Unit.
Customer Name	Text (Optional)	Name of the customer (optional for anonymous sales).

Formulas Required:

=B2&"-"&TEXT(ROW(A2),"000") → Auto-generates Transaction ID in format S001, S002, etc.
=C2*D2 → Calculates Total Sale Amount.
Data validation rules are applied to the "Product Name" and "Category" columns to maintain data consistency.

Conditional Formatting:

Sales above $500 highlighted in green (to flag high-value transactions).
Quantity Sold ≤ 0 shown in red text with a warning icon.
Missing Product Name cells are marked with an orange background.

Sheet 2: Inventory Master (Central Database)

This sheet maintains the core inventory data and serves as the backbone for all inventory control functions.

Column	Data Type	Description
Product ID	Text (Auto-generated)	Unique identifier for each product (e.g., P001).
Product Name	Text	Name of the item.
Category	Text (Dropdown)	Limited to predefined categories for consistency.
Current Stock Level	Numeric (Integer)	This field is updated automatically based on sales logs and restocking events.
Reorder Point	Numeric (Integer)	Threshold level that triggers a restock alert.
Reorder Quantity	Numeric (Integer)	Suggested order quantity when stock falls below reorder point.
Supplier Name	Text	Name of the supplier.
Last Restocked Date	Date (dd/mm/yyyy)	Last date when inventory was replenished.

Formulas:

=SUMIFS('Sales Log'!F:F, 'Sales Log'!C:C, A2) → Calculates total sales volume for a specific product (used to update Current Stock Level).
=E2 - SUMIFS('Sales Log'!D:D, 'Sales Log'!C:C, A2) → Updates stock level dynamically.
A conditional formatting rule flags rows where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point with a red background.
