Table Structures & Column Definitions

1. Product Master List (Sheet: Product Master List)

2. Current Inventory Levels (Sheet: Current Inventory)

Key Formulas Required

• Available for Sale: =Current Quantity - Reserved Quantity (in Current Inventory sheet)
• Reorder Point: =Safety Stock + (Average Daily Demand × Lead Time in Days) → calculated dynamically using historical data from Demand Forecasting sheet.
• Safety Stock Level: =Z-Score × Standard Deviation of Demand × √Lead Time → based on service level target (e.g., 95% service level).
• Inventory Turnover Ratio: =Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory Value (from Inventory Valuation sheet).
• Stockout Risk Indicator: =IF( Available for Sale <= Reorder Point, "High Risk", IF(Available for Sale <= 2×Reorder Point, "Medium", "Low"))

Conditional Formatting Rules

This template leverages advanced conditional formatting to highlight inventory health and logistics urgency:

• Red Highlight: Cells where Available for Sale < Reorder Point (indicating immediate need for replenishment).
• Yellow Highlight: Available for Sale between Reorder Point and 2×Reorder Point (warning threshold).
• Green Highlight: Available for Sale > 2×Reorder Point (sufficient stock, low risk).
• Data Bars: Visual bars in the "Current Quantity" column to compare inventory levels across products.
• Icon Sets: Traffic light icons (Red/Yellow/Green) based on stock health status for quick visual assessment.
