| Lead Time (Days) | Numeric (Integer) | Average delivery duration from supplier. |

Formulas Required
- Auto-Generate Item ID: Use a formula like =IF(A2="", MAX(A$1:A1)+1, A2) in the Item ID column (starting from Row 2).
- Current Stock Level: In the Master List, use:
=SUMIF(MovementLog!C:C, MasterList!A2, MovementLog!E:E). - Status Indicator: Use conditional formula:
=IF(CurrentStock <= ReorderPoint, "Low Stock", IF(CurrentStock <= SafetyStock, "Critical", "In Stock")). - Reorder Quantity: In the Reorder Recommendations sheet:
=MAX(0, (ReorderPoint + LeadTime*AvgDailyUsage) - CurrentStock), where AvgDailyUsage is derived from movement logs.
Conditional Formatting
- Low Stock Alerts: Apply red fill to any cell in the "Status" column that reads "Low Stock".
- Critical Stock: Use bright orange background for "Critical" status.
- In-Stock Items: Green fill for items with sufficient stock.
- Recent Activity: Highlight movement logs updated in the last 7 days using a date-based rule.
