Formulas Required

Auto-generated Item ID: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)+1,"000")
Stock Alert (in Inventory Tracking): =IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "REORDER NOW", "OK")
Inventory Turnover Ratio (KPI): =SUM('Transaction Log'!D:D)/AVERAGE('Inventory Tracking'!C:C)
Stockout Rate: =COUNTIF('Transaction Log'!C:C,"Outbound")/COUNTA('Transaction Log'!C:C) (as percentage)
Current Stock Level Update: Uses a SUMIFS formula to pull data from Transaction Log: =SUMIFS('Transaction Log'!E:E, 'Transaction Log'!B:B, [Item ID]) + Starting Inventory
KPI Status Indicator: =IF([@Actual Value] >= [@Target Value], "On Track", "At Risk")

Conditional Formatting Rules

Stock Level Alerts: Highlight cells in red if Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point, yellow if within 10% of reorder point.
KPI Status: Apply green fill for "On Track", red fill for "At Risk".
Expiry Dates: Highlight rows where Expiry Date is within 7 days with a warning color (orange).
Benchmark Comparison: Use data bars in the KPI Metrics sheet to visually compare actual vs. target.

User Instructions

Open the template and save it as a unique file named after your startup (e.g., "MyStartup_StockControl.xlsx").
Navigate to the Settings & Controls sheet to customize unit types, reorder thresholds, and default values.
Add new products in the Inventory Tracking sheet. Use the auto-generated Item ID for consistency.
All stock movements must be logged in the Transaction Log. Never manually edit Current Stock Level — always use transactions.
The Dashboard will auto-update based on formulas and data from other sheets. Review it weekly to monitor KPIs and stock health.
Supplier performance can be analyzed by reviewing delivery timeliness in the Supplier List sheet.
To generate reports, use Excel’s built-in pivot tables based on the Transaction Log data.
