F6 (Net Cash Flow): =IF(D6="",0,D6)-IF(E6="",0,E6)
G6 (Cumulative Balance): =IF(ROW()=5,10000,G5+F6)
(Assumes a starting balance of $10,000. Adjust in the "Assumptions & Configuration" sheet.)

Total Daily Expenses: =SUMIF(B:B,"Freight Payment",E:E)+SUMIF(B:B,"Warehouse Rent",E:E)
Forecasted 7-Day Balance: Uses a moving average of the last 7 days’ net cash flow to project future balances.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visibility and identify risks in logistics planning, the template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules:

Negative Net Cash Flow: Red text with dark red background to flag days where outflows exceed inflows.
Overdue Payments (I column): Orange highlight for entries with "Overdue" status, ensuring prompt follow-up.
Cumulative Balance Below Threshold: If G column value falls below 5% of starting balance, trigger a yellow alert.
Late Logistics Activity: Highlight rows where logistics code indicates delayed shipments and payment status is "Pending".
