| Current Stock Level | Numeric (Decimal) | Real-time stock available from Inventory Overview sheet. |
| Reorder Point | Numeric (Decimal) | Threshold level at which a new order is triggered. |

| Supplier Name | List (Dynamic from Supplier Details sheet) | Selected from approved supplier list. |
| Lead Time (Days) | Numeric | Average delivery time in days; auto-filled via VLOOKUP from Supplier Details. |
| Unit Cost ($) | Currency (Decimal) | Current price per unit from supplier data. |

Essential Formulas Used in the Template
- Recommended Order Qty:
=MAX(0, [Required Quantity] - [Current Stock Level]) - Total Estimated Cost:
=IF([Recommended Order Qty]=0, 0, [Recommended Order Qty]*[Unit Cost]) - Planned Delivery Date:
=IF([Order Placement Date]="", "", [Order Placement Date] + [Lead Time]) - Approval Required (Conditional):
=IF(OR([Total Estimated Cost] > 500, OR([Category]="Safety Gear", [Category]="High-Risk")), "Yes", "No") - Status Color Logic: Uses nested IFs and VLOOKUPs to auto-update based on delivery timeline.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock Warning: Highlight rows where
[Current Stock Level] ≤ [Reorder Point]. Background: Yellow. - Urgent Orders: If
[Planned Delivery Date] ≤ TODAY() + 3, highlight in red text with dark red background. - High-Cost Items: If total cost exceeds $1,000, apply bold font and green background.
- Status Indicators: Use icons (e.g., ⚠️ for Pending, ✓ for Delivered) to improve visual tracking.
