| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID | Text / Number (Unique) | Unique identifier for each supply item (e.g., SKU-001). |

| Required By Date | Date | Target date when the supply must arrive at the warehouse or production site. |
| Lead Time (Days) | Numeric | Average supplier lead time in days (e.g., 14). |

| Notes | Text (Optional) | Add comments about special handling, compliance needs, or delivery exceptions. |
Formulas Required
- Order Date (Planned):
=IF(DATE(Required By Date)="", "", DATE(Required By Date)-Lead Time (Days)) - Status Color Indicator: Conditional formatting based on Status field to visually flag delays or high-priority items.
- Remaining Days Until Delivery:
=IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), Required By Date, "d") <= 0, "Overdue", DATEDIF(TODAY(), Required By Date, "d")) - Duplicate Detection: Use
SUMIFSor a helper column to flag duplicate Item IDs.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Field: Color-coding:
- Red: Delayed, Overdue
- Orange: In Transit (within 3 days of Required By Date)
- Green: Delivered, On Hold
- Priorities: High priority items get a bold yellow background.
- Dates: Highlight any "Required By Date" within the next 5 days with a red border.
- Missing Lead Time: If Lead Time is blank but Required By Date is filled, flag in red using IF formula.
User Instructions
- Data Entry: Begin by populating the "Supply List (Planning View)" sheet with planned supply items. Ensure all data types are consistent and dropdowns are used where applicable.
- Update Forecast: Use the "Demand Forecast" sheet to input or import expected demand by item, which can automatically feed into planning quantities.
- Replenishment Logic: The "Inventory & Replenishment" sheet uses formulas to calculate reorder triggers based on current stock levels and lead times from this supply list.
- Supplier Management: Maintain supplier details (contact, performance metrics) in the "Supplier Performance" sheet. Link it via VLOOKUP to populate Supplier Name fields.
- Monitor & Update: Regularly update the Status column and refresh dates to maintain real-time accuracy. Use today's date for recalculations.
- Analyze with Dashboard: Refer to the "Dashboard (KPIs & Charts)" sheet for visual summaries of delivery timelines, priority distribution, and supply gap analysis.
