=IF(F2 <= G2, "REORDER", "OK") - Auto-Generate Transaction ID: In 'Stock Movement Log':
=CONCATENATE("TRX-", TEXT(TODAY(), "YYYYMMDD"), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) - Dashboard Metrics: Use
SUMIFS(),COUNTIF(), andAVERAGEIF()to calculate total inventory value, stock turnover rate, and frequent product usage.
