| Product ID | Text (e.g., P001) |
| Product Name | Text (linked from Master List) |
| Description | <Text (material type, category, etc.) |
| Unit of Measure | <Text (e.g., Units, Kilograms) |
| Monthly Demand Forecast (Jan) | Numeric (planned units per month) |
| Monthly Demand Forecast (Feb) | Numeric |
| ... | Repeat for all 12 months |
| Total Annual Forecast | Numeric (SUM of 12 months) |
| Standard Lead Time (Days) | Numeric |
| Reorder Point (ROP) | Numeric (calculated: Average Daily Demand × Lead Time + Safety Stock) |
| Safety Stock Level | Numeric |
| Optimal Order Quantity (EOQ) | Numeric (calculated using EOQ formula: √(2DS/H)) |
| Recommended Order Frequency | Text ("Monthly", "Quarterly", etc.) based on EOQ and consumption pattern |
2. Monthly Stock Ledger Sheet
A dynamic ledger that tracks real-time stock levels, receipts, issues, and balances monthly.
| Column | Data Type/Description |
|---|---|
| Date (Month) | Date (e.g., Jan-2024) |

| Issues/Consumption (Sales/Usage) | Numeric |
| Closing Stock | Numeric (= Opening + Receipts - Issues) |
| Stockout Flag | Boolean (TRUE/FALSE) if Closing Stock ≤ 0 |
| Demand vs. Supply Variance (%) | Numeric (calculated: ((Consumption - Receipts)/Receipts)*100) |
3. Inventory Replenishment Tracker Sheet
Monitors upcoming reorder events and ensures timely procurement.
| Column | Data Type/Description |
|---|---|
| Product ID | Text (linked to Master List) |
| Current Stock Level | Numeric (from Monthly Ledger) |
| Reorder Point (ROP) | Numeric |
| Triggered Reorder? | Boolean (IF(Current Stock ≤ ROP, TRUE, FALSE)) |
| Planned Order Date | Date (if reorder triggered) |
| Expected Delivery Date | Date (Planned Order + Lead Time) |
| Status | Text ("Pending", "In Transit", "Received") |
| Last Updated | Date (auto-filled with =TODAY()) |
4. KPI Dashboard (Annual)
A consolidated view of key performance indicators across the year.
| KPI Metric | Description & Formula |
|---|---|
| Stockout Rate (%) | =(Number of months with stockout / 12) × 100 |
| Inventory Turnover Ratio (Annual) | = Total Annual Consumption / Average Inventory Level |
| Carrying Cost of Inventory (%) | = (Average Stock Value × Holding Cost Rate) / Average Stock Value × 100 |
| Order Accuracy Rate (%) | = (Number of accurate orders / Total orders) × 100 |
| Reorder Compliance (% of ROP triggers fulfilled) | = (Fulfilled Reorders / Total Reorder Triggers) × 100 |
Formulas Required
- Stockout Flag:
=IF(Closing_Stock<=0, TRUE, FALSE) - Total Annual Forecast:
=SUM(B2:M2) - Safety Stock (assumed): 5% of average monthly demand or user-defined constant.
- Reorder Point (ROP):
=AVERAGE(Daily_Demand) * Lead_Time + Safety_Stock - Economic Order Quantity (EOQ):
=SQRT((2*Annual_Demand*Order_Cost)/Holding_Cost_Per_Unit) - Inventory Turnover:
=Total_Annual_Consumption / AVERAGE(Opening_Stock, Closing_Stock)
Conditional Formatting
- Highlight stockout months in red (where Closing Stock ≤ 0).
- Color-code order status: Red for "Pending", Yellow for "In Transit", Green for "Received".
- Flag products with low stock levels (< 50% of ROP) in orange.
- Highlight KPIs below threshold (e.g., Stockout Rate > 10%) in red.
User Instructions
