Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical issues:
- Stockout Flag (Y): Red fill with white text for urgent attention.
- Closing Stock < Safety Stock: Yellow highlight to signal low inventory risk.
- Closing Stock > Maximum Level: Orange background indicating overstocking.
