The template includes powerful formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:- Auto-increment OrderID / RouteID: Use
=IF(A2="","",A1+1)in the first row with a helper cell. - Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting based on values like “Delayed” → Red, “Delivered” → Green.
- Stock Alert Logic: In Inventory sheet:
=IF(CurrentStockLevel<=ReorderPoint,"Low Stock","In Stock"). - Total Route Cost: In Transportation Routes:
=DistanceKM*(CostPerKM). - Delivery Delay Calculation: In Shipping Orders:
=IF(DeliveryDateExpected
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Inventory Levels:** Red if current stock is below reorder point. - **Order Status:** Green for "Delivered", Orange for "In Transit", Red for "Delayed". - **Route Efficiency:** Yellow highlight if travel time exceeds 90% of average. - **Calendar Events:** Pink background if event is due within 48 hours.User Instructions
