Table Structures & Column Definitions

Sheet 1: Inventory Master Data

Sheet 2: Warehouse Stock Movement Log

Sheet 3: Reorder & Safety Stock Dashboard

This sheet dynamically calculates recommended reorder quantities using formulas based on consumption rates and lead time. Key fields include:

• Current Stock (Auto-calculated from Movement Log)
• Average Daily Consumption (calculated over 30 days)
• Reorder Quantity = (Average Daily Consumption × Lead Time) + Safety Stock
• Status: "Low Stock", "In Order", "Sufficient" (Conditional Formatting applied)

Sheet 4: Location & Bin Management

Sheet 5: KPIs & Performance Dashboards

This sheet features interactive charts and calculated metrics such as:

• Inventory Turnover Ratio = (COGS / Average Inventory)
• Stock Accuracy Rate = (Counted Items Matched / Total Counted) × 100
• On-Time Shipment Rate

Sheet 6: Instructions & Data Validation Guide

A user-friendly guide with step-by-step instructions, validation rules (e.g., no negative quantities), and troubleshooting tips.

Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality

// In Reorder & Safety Stock Dashboard:
Reorder Quantity = IF([Average Daily Consumption] * [Lead Time] + [Safety Stock Level] > 0, 
                    ROUNDUP([Average Daily Consumption] * [Lead Time] + [Safety Stock Level], 0), 0)

// Current Stock (from Movement Log):
=SUMIF(InventoryMasterData[Item ID], [@SKU], WarehouseStockMovementLog[Quantity])

// Utilization Rate:
=IF([Max Capacity]=0, 0, [Current Stock]/[Max Capacity])

// Safety Stock Alert:
=IF([Current Stock] <= [Safety Stock Level], "REORDER NOW", "OK")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock: If Current Stock ≤ Safety Stock → Highlight cell in red.
• High Utilization: If Bin Utilization ≥ 90% → Fill with orange.
• Error Entries: Negative quantity fields highlighted in dark red.
• Status Indicator: "Low Stock" = Red text, "In Order" = Yellow, "Sufficient" = Green.

User Instructions

1. Enter new items in the Inventory Master Data sheet using valid SKU formats.
2. All stock movements must be logged in the Warehouse Stock Movement Log.
3. The template auto-updates current stock levels and safety alerts.
