Formulas and Automation
- **Reorder Point Calculation**: In the "Reorder Point" column, use a formula like `=Safety_Stock + (Average_Daily_Usage * Lead_Time_In_Days)` for dynamic alerts. - **Current Stock Level (End of Month)**: Formula in Inventory Summary sheet: `=Beginning_Stock + Total_Incoming - Total_Outgoing` - **Low Stock Alert**: Conditional logic using `=IF(Current_Stock <= Safety_Stock, "Alert", "")` to flag items needing restocking. - **Monthly Average Usage**: Calculate via `=SUM(Daily_Use)/Number_of_Days` in the Movement Log sheet.Conditional Formatting
Apply the following rules across relevant sheets: - **Red Fill with White Text**: For stock levels below safety stock (e.g., if Current Stock ≤ Safety Stock). - **Yellow Fill**: Items where current stock is between 80% and 95% of reorder point. - **Green Fill**: Items with sufficient inventory above reorder point. - Highlight all “Reorder” flagged items in bold red text for immediate visibility.User Instructions
