Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Master List)

The primary data storage is in the "Inventory Master List" sheet, structured as a dynamic Excel Table (Ctrl+T) for easy filtering and expansion.

Data Types and Formulas Required

The template incorporates a variety of formulas essential for automation:

Auto-Item ID (Column A): =IF([@ID]="", MAX(InventoryMasterList[Item ID])+1, [@ID])
Current Stock Count: Uses SUMIFS to aggregate from Transaction Log: =SUMIFS(TransactionLog[Quantity],TransactionLog[Item ID],[@[Item ID]],TransactionLog[Action],"In") - SUMIFS(TransactionLog[Quantity],TransactionLog[Item ID],[@[Item ID]],TransactionLog[Action],"Out")
Reorder Threshold Check: =IF([@Stock] <= [@Threshold], "Low Stock", "Normal")
Next Reorder Date (if applicable): =IF([@Reorder Status]="Low Stock", TODAY()+7, "")
Total Value: =[@Stock] * [@Unit Cost]

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhances visual clarity with color-coded indicators:

Low Stock Items: Red fill if current stock ≤ reorder threshold.
Aging Items (Unused): Yellow highlight for items not used in last 90 days.
Critical Low Stock: Bold red text with exclamation icon when stock is below 5 units.
Overstocked Items: Light orange background if stock exceeds twice the average usage rate.
