Formulas & Automation Logic

This advanced template leverages Excel's power with robust formulas:

Reorder Point Calculation (in Main Inventory Tracker): =Safety_Stock + (AVERAGE(Daily_Usage_Column) * Lead_Time_Days)
Status Indicator Formula: =IF(Current_Stock <= Safety_Stock, "Low Stock", IF(Current_Stock = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
Auto-Update Last Updated Date (in Main Inventory Tracker): =IF(OR(B2<>"", C2<>""), TODAY(), "") — triggers when any field changes.
Total Inbound/Outbound Totals (on Dashboard): =SUMIFS(Stock_Movement_Log!$E:$E, Stock_Movement_Log!$C:$C, $A2, Stock_Movement_Log!$D:$D, "Inbound")
Inventory Turnover Ratio (Dashboard): =Annual_Sales_Units / AVERAGE(Opening_Stock, Closing_Stock)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhances data visibility with color-coded indicators:

Low Stock Alert (Red Background): If Current Stock ≤ Safety Stock.
Out of Stock (Dark Red Text on Black Background): When stock level is 0.
Safety Zone (Green Highlight): When stock is above reorder point but not excessive.
Daily Movement Volume Chart Trends: Color gradients based on transaction frequency.
