Table Structures & Column Definitions (Inventory Master Log)

Formulas Required

• Average Daily Usage:
  =IFERROR(SUM(F3:F30)/30, 0)
  (Assuming daily usage data is in F column over the last 30 days)
• Reorder Point:
  =Safety_Stock + (Average_Daily_Usage * Lead_Time)
  (Referenced from named cells or other sheets)
• Stock Status:
  =IF(On_Hand_Qty < Safety_Stock, "Low Stock", IF(On_Hand_Qty = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
• Inventory Turnover Ratio (KPI):
  =Total_Cost_Of_Goods_Sold / Average_Inventory_Value
  (Calculated in KPI Calculation Engine)
• Stock Accuracy Rate (KPI):
  =COUNTIFS(Status_Column, "Match") / COUNTA(Status_Column)
  (Where Status column tracks physical vs. system counts)

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Items: Apply red fill with white text to rows where On Hand Quantity < Safety Stock Level.
• Out of Stock Items: Use dark red background and bold font for items with zero quantity.
• In Stock Items: Green fill for quantities above safety stock.
• KPIs in Dashboard: Color-coded traffic light system (green/yellow/red) based on performance thresholds (e.g., turnover ratio > 6 = green).
• Age of Data: Highlight cells with “Last Updated” older than 14 days in orange to flag outdated inventory records.
