Sheet Names & Structure
The template consists of six interconnected sheets:- Inventory Master List: Central database containing all inventory items with full attributes.

Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Master List)
The Inventory Master List is structured as a formal database table with the following columns: | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Unique) | Auto-generated unique identifier using a prefix + sequential number. | | Item Name | Text (Max 100 chars) | Full name of the item (e.g., "HP LaserJet Pro M404dn Printer") | | Category | Dropdown List | Predefined categories: Electronics, Furniture, Office Supplies, Cleaning Supplies, Safety Equipment | | Subcategory | Dropdown (Dynamic) | Linked to category; e.g., under Electronics → Printers, Laptops, Monitors | | Unit of Measure | Dropdown (e.g., Each, Box, Pack) | Defines how the item is stocked and issued. | | Quantity On Hand | Number (Integer) | Current physical stock count; updates via receiving/distribution logs. | | Reorder Level | Number (Integer) | Minimum threshold triggering a reorder alert. Set in Settings sheet. | | Reorder Quantity | Number (Integer) | Suggested amount to purchase when stock hits reorder level. | | Unit Cost ($USD) | Currency (2 decimal places) | Standard cost per unit; used in budgeting and valuation. | | Last Received Date | Date Format | Automatic timestamp on new entries via receiving log. | | Supplier Name | Text (Max 50 chars) | Name of vendor or supplier company. | | Department Assigned To | Dropdown List (from Departments list in Settings) | Indicates which office department uses this item most frequently. | | Location Code | Text/Number (e.g., "FLR2-RM10") | Physical storage location within the office (e.g., 2nd Floor, Room 10). | | Status | Dropdown: Active / Discontinued / Out of Stock / Under Repair | Tracks item lifecycle status. |Formulas Required
Several formulas ensure automation and accuracy:=IF([@Quantity On Hand] <= [@Reorder Level], "Reorder Needed", "In Stock"): Labels items needing restocking.=SUMIFS(ReceivingLog[Quantity Received], ReceivingLog[Item ID], [@Item ID]) - SUMIFS(DistributionLog[Quantity Issued], DistributionLog[Item ID], [@Item ID]): Calculates current stock (on hand).=IFERROR(VLOOKUP([@Supplier Name], SupplierList, 2, FALSE), "Unknown"): Auto-populates supplier contact details.=DATEDIF([@Last Received Date], TODAY(), "D"): Calculates days since last restock (useful for turnover analysis).- Dynamic dropdowns in Subcategory and Department columns are built using Excel’s Data Validation with named ranges.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Visual cues enhance usability:- Low Stock: Apply red fill and bold font if quantity ≤ reorder level (using conditional formatting based on formula).
- Out of Stock: Orange background if quantity = 0.
- New Items: Light green highlight for items received in the last 7 days.
- Aging Inventory: Yellow tint to items with no movement in over 90 days (via DATEDIF comparison).
User Instructions

- Add New Items: Use the "Inventory Master List" to enter new inventory items. Ensure unique Item ID and correct category/subcategory.
- Receive New Stock: Go to "Receiving Log" sheet. Enter item ID, quantity received, supplier, date, and purchase order number. The system auto-updates the master list.
