Inventory Forecasting & Reordering (Sheet: Inventory Forecasting & Reordering)
This sheet uses formulas from the Product Inventory Master List and Campaign Calendar to automatically calculate future demand. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | SKU | Text (Linked) | Pulls from master list | | Base Demand (Units/Week) | Number (Average of past 4 weeks) | Derived via AVERAGE formula | | Campaign Impact Factor (%) | Percentage Input Field or Auto-calculated from campaign data | Based on associated campaigns in Calendar sheet | | Projected Demand = Base Demand × (1 + Campaign Impact) | Formula Output (Number) | Dynamic calculation | | Safety Stock Required (Units) | Formula: 2 × Weekly Forecasted Variance | Risk buffer for demand spikes | | Reorder Quantity Suggested = Projected Demand + Safety Stock – Current Stock Level | Formula Output (Number, rounded up to nearest 10 if needed) | Automatically calculates order size | ---Required Formulas
Formulas are embedded throughout the template to ensure real-time data accuracy and automation. Examples include: - `=IF([@CurrentStockLevel] <= [@ReorderPoint], "REORDER NOW", "ON STOCK")` – Conditional status in Inventory Master List. - `=VLOOKUP(SKU, 'Product Inventory Master List'!$A:$J, 3, FALSE)` – Pulls product names dynamically. - `=SUMIFS('Campaign Calendar & Timeline'!$E:$E, 'Campaign Calendar & Timeline'!$D:$D, "=[@SKU]")` – Aggregates total campaign demand per SKU. - `=IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS('Sales Performance Tracker'!$C:$C, 'Sales Performance Tracker'!$A:$A, "=[@Date]"), 0)` – Averages weekly sales data. ---Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical inventory states: - **Stock Below Reorder Point**: Red fill with white text. - **Low Stock (within 15% of reorder point)**: Amber/yellow highlight. - **High Demand Campaigns**: Blue border around campaign entries occurring in the next 14 days. - **Forecasted Stockouts within 30 Days**: Light red background if projected demand exceeds available stock. ---Instructions for the User
