Table Structures and Columns

Formulas Required

• Closing Stock (Monthly Tracker): =B3+C3-D3 where B=Opening, C=Replenished, D=Consumed.

• Annual Consumption (Master List): =SUMIFS(Monthly_Replenishment_Tracker!D:D, Monthly_Replenishment_Tracker!B:B, Item_ID)
• Forecasted Reorder Quantity: Based on average monthly consumption × 1.25 (safety buffer). Formula: =ROUND(AVERAGEIF(Monthly_Replenishment_Tracker!B:B, Item_ID, Monthly_Replenishment_Tracker!D:D)*1.25, 0)

Conditional Formatting

• Low Stock Status: Red fill with white text when Current Stock ≤ Reorder Point.
