TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMNS (Inventory Master List)
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (Unique) | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each inventory item. Use format: OI-YYYY-NNN (e.g., OI-2024-001). |
| Item Name | Text | Description of the item (e.g., "Printer Paper A4 - 80gsm"). Max 50 characters. |
| Category | List (Drop-down) | Predefined categories: Office Supplies, IT Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures, Cleaning Supplies, Security & Safety. Use drop-down to ensure consistency. |
| Sub-Category | List (Dependent on Category) | Refined classification (e.g., "Paper", "Ink Cartridges" under Office Supplies). |
| Current Stock Level | Numeric (Integer) | Real-time count of available units. Must be non-negative. |
| Reorder Point (ROP) | Numeric | Minimum threshold at which a reorder should be triggered. Set based on historical usage and lead time. |
| Optimal Stock Level | Numeric | Target stock level to maintain smooth operations without overstocking. |
| Last Updated | Date (Auto-formatted) | Automatically populated with today’s date when updated. Use =TODAY() in formula cells. |
| Unit of Measure (UoM) | List | E.g., "Units", "Boxes", "Reams", "Liters". Ensures accurate tracking and forecasting. |
| Supplier Name | Text (Linked to Supplier Sheet) | Reference to supplier via lookup from the Supplier Information sheet. |
| Status | List (Status) | Possible values: Active, Discontinued, Low Stock, Critical Stock. Used for conditional formatting and summary dashboards. |
FORMULAS REQUIRED
- Auto-generate Item ID: Use a formula in the Item ID column:
=CONCATENATE("OI-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")). Adjust based on starting row. - Reorder Trigger Logic: In the Planning & Reorder Forecast sheet, use:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "YES", "NO") - Stock Status Indicator: Use nested IFs:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Critical", IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Low", "OK")) - Projected Stock (Next Month): In Planning View:
=[@Current Stock Level] - [@[Avg Monthly Usage]] + [@[Order Quantity]] - VLOOKUP for Supplier Contact: Use =VLOOKUP(Item ID, 'Supplier & Vendor Information'!A:B, 2, FALSE) to pull supplier email or phone.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
- Red Text: If Current Stock Level is below Reorder Point → Highlight entire row red.
- Yellow Background: If Current Stock Level is between 50% and 90% of Optimal Stock Level.
- Green Background: If Current Stock Level ≥ Optimal Stock Level.
- Pulsing Icon: Use data bars to visualize stock levels relative to optimal — green bar increases as stock approaches target.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
- Populate the Master List: Enter all office inventory items with accurate details. Ensure each item has a unique Item ID and correct category.
- Set Reorder Points: Analyze past usage (e.g., last 6 months) to determine minimum levels that prevent stockouts.
- Update Monthly: At the end of each month, update 'Current Stock Level' and 'Last Updated' fields based on physical counts.
- Pull Usage Data: Use the monthly usage tracker (in Dashboard) to feed historical data into forecasting formulas.
- Review Planning View: Monthly review of "Planning & Reorder Forecast" sheet to identify items needing reorder and plan purchase orders.
- Maintain Supplier Info: Keep vendor records updated with contact details, lead times, and pricing.
