Table Structure & Columns (Main Supply List)

Formulas & Automation
The template uses advanced Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and automate workflows:- Status Conditional Logic:
=IF(CurrentStockLevel <= ReorderPoint, "Low Stock (Alert)", IF(CurrentStockLevel = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Reorder Recommendation:
=IF(Status="Low Stock (Alert)", ReorderQuantity, "") - Stock Value Calculation:
=CurrentStockLevel * LastPurchaseCost - Demand Forecasting (30-day): Uses moving average of past 90-day usage data:
=AVERAGE(OFFSET(CurrentStockLevel, -90, 0, 90)) * (30/365) - Supplier Score Update: Pulls reliability scores via VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP from the Supplier Directory sheet.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual management, the template applies dynamic formatting:- Low Stock: Red fill with white text (when CurrentStockLevel ≤ ReorderPoint).
- Out of Stock: Dark red background with flashing animation (if enabled).
- High Reliability Supplier: Green highlight for suppliers rated 8–10.
- Potential Cost Overruns: Orange border when Current Market Price > Last Purchase Cost by more than 10%.
