6. Instructions & Help Guide: Step-by-step guidance for users on how to use each component of the template effectively.

Table Structures and Columns (Supply List Sheet)

The primary sheet, Supply List (Main Data), uses a structured table format with the following columns and data types:

Column Name	Data Type	Description
Item ID (Unique)	Text (Alphanumeric)	A unique identifier for each inventory item (e.g., INV-00123). Ensures data integrity and ease of lookup.
Item Name	Text	The full name of the product or material (e.g., "Wireless Keyboard Model X20").
Description	Text (Long)	Detailed specifications, model numbers, dimensions, or usage notes.
Category	List (Dropdown)	Predefined categories such as "Electronics," "Raw Materials," "Office Supplies," or "Packaging."
Unit of Measure	List (Dropdown)	Select from units like 'Pieces', 'Kilograms', 'Liters', 'Boxes'.
Current Stock Level	Numeric (Decimal)	Real-time count or quantity currently in inventory. Updated via manual entry or linked to movement log.
Minimum Stock Threshold	Numeric (Decimal)	The reorder point below which a new order should be triggered. Used for automatic alerts.
Maximum Stock Limit	Numeric (Decimal)	Upper limit to prevent overstocking. Helps in optimizing storage and cash flow.
Last Received Date	Date	The date when the last shipment of this item was received into inventory.
Next Expected Delivery Date (if applicable)	Date	Planned arrival date for an open purchase order.
Supplier Name	List (Dropdown)	Links to the Supplier Directory sheet; ensures consistency and traceability.
Unit Cost (USD)	Currency	The current purchase cost per unit. Used for valuation and financial reporting.
Total Value (USD)	Currency	Auto-calculated as: Current Stock Level × Unit Cost. Reflects inventory worth.
Status	List (Dropdown)	Options: "Active", "Discontinued", "Low Stock Alert", "Out of Stock".

Required Formulas

The following formulas are essential for automation and data integrity:

Total Value (USD): =IF([@Current Stock Level] > 0, [@Unit Cost] * [@Current Stock Level], 0)
Status Auto-Update: =IF([@Current Stock Level] <= 0, "Out of Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Minimum Stock Threshold], "Low Stock Alert", "Active"))
Reorder Quantity (Optional): =MAX(0, [@Minimum Stock Threshold] - [@Current Stock Level]) — Calculates how many units to reorder.
Last Received Date Update (via VLOOKUP): Uses a dynamic reference from the Inventory Movement Log to auto-update the date when an item is last received.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and enable rapid decision-making, the template applies conditional formatting rules:

Items with Status = "Low Stock Alert": Highlighted in yellow background.
Items with Status = "Out of Stock": Red font and bold text for immediate visibility.
Current Stock Level less than 50% of Minimum Threshold: Background color turns orange.
Total Value (USD) above the average: Green shading to identify high-value items.
Dates: Items with "Next Expected Delivery" past due are shown in red text.
