Formulas Required for Automation & Accuracy

- **Auto-Increment Item ID:** `=IF(A2="", MAX(A$1:A1)+1, A2)` in the first row of the Item ID column. - **Dynamic Last Updated By (Employee):** Use `=USER()` function to automatically populate the employee’s name (if available in Windows). - **Last Updated Date:** `=NOW()` — automatically updates with each workbook opening. - **Stock Level Update Formula:** In the "Current Stock Levels" sheet, use `=VLOOKUP(ItemID, 'Receiving Log'!A:D, 3, FALSE)` to sum incoming stock. Then subtract values from the "Daily Transactions Log". - **Low Stock Alert Indicator (Conditional):** Use `=IF(CurrentStockLevel <= ReorderPoint, "Alert", "OK")`. - **Total Items Count:** `=COUNTA(A2:A100)` for quick inventory health checks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

- **Low Stock Cells (Current Stock Level):** Highlight in red if value is less than or equal to the Reorder Point. - **Critical Low Stock:** Use orange background when stock is below 10% of reorder point. - **Receiving Log:** Apply green highlight to rows where quantity received exceeds 50 units (potential bulk order). - **Employee Name in Logs:** Use blue font color for entries made by the logged-in user.
