Table Structures and Data Types

Sheet 1: Inventory Master List

Sheet 2: Stock Transactions Log

Sheet 4: Reorder Alerts & Recommendations

Formulas Required

This template leverages dynamic Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and enable real-time insights:

• Current Stock Level Update (Inventory Master List): =SUMIFS('Stock Transactions Log'!F:F, 'Stock Transactions Log'!C:C, A2) + Starting_Quantity
• Suggested Order Quantity: =MAX(0, (Reorder Point - Current Stock Level) * 1.1) (adds 10% buffer)
• Status Alert Logic: =IF(Current_Stock_Level <= Reorder_Point, "Critical", IF(Current_Stock_Level <= Reorder_Point * 0.8, "Warning", "Normal"))
• Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH): =Current_Stock_Level / (Average_Daily_Usage), where Average Daily Usage is derived from last 30 days' transaction data.
• Inventory Accuracy Rate (IAR): =COUNTIF(Audit_Status, "Match") / COUNT(Audit_Status)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and support immediate actionability:

• Critical Stock Levels: Red fill with white text for items below reorder point.
• Warning Thresholds: Yellow background for stock levels at 80% of reorder point.
• New Orders: Green highlight in the Reorder Alerts sheet when a suggested quantity > 0.
• Dates Close to Expiry (if applicable): Orange shading if item has a shelf-life and due date is within 30 days.
• KPIs on Dashboard: Color-coded bar progress indicators (green for met, red for missed).
