3. Daily Tracking Dashboard (Sheet: Daily Tracking Dashboard)

Formulas Required

Current Stock Level Update: In Inventory Master List, use a SUMIF formula to calculate total incoming minus outgoing per Item ID from the Stock Movement Log.

=SUMIF(StockMovementLog!C:C, InventoryMasterList!A2, StockMovementLog!E:E)

Status Indicator: Conditional logic to flag items below reorder point:

=IF(CurrentStockLevel < ReorderPoint, "Critical", IF(CurrentStockLevel < (ReorderPoint * 1.5), "Low", "Sufficient"))

Days Until Reorder: Estimate lead time impact:
```
=ROUNDUP((ReorderPoint - CurrentStockLevel) / AverageDailyUsage, 0)
```
(Assuming average daily usage is derived from past 30-day data.)

Conditional Formatting

Critical Stock Levels: Red fill with white text for items where current stock is below reorder point.
Low Stock Levels: Yellow fill for items between 50% and 100% of reorder point.
High Stock Levels: Light green if inventory exceeds maximum allowable level (set in settings).
Date Columns: Highlight dates older than 7 days in red to flag delayed entries.

User Instructions

Record Movements: For every stock change (receiving, shipping, adjustment), go to the “Stock Movement Log” and enter full details including date, item ID, quantity, and movement type.
Update Automatically: The system recalculates current stock levels in real time using SUMIF formulas. No manual recalculation needed.
