This sheet contains a structured table (named "tblInventory") with the following columns:

| Vendor Name | Text / Lookup from Vendor List | Name of supplier (e.g., "OfficeMax") |
| Last Reorder Date | Date (Auto-Update) | Date when product was last restocked |
| Next Expected Delivery Date | Date (Formula-Based) | Calculated as: Last Reorder + 7 days (assumed lead time) |
| Status | Text / Conditional Indicator | Dynamically updates to "Low Stock", "In Order", or "OK" based on current stock vs. reorder point |

- Monthly Usage Trend Chart (based on Transaction Log)
- Vendor Performance Matrix (frequency of orders, delivery times)
- Category-wise Inventory Value Summary
Formulas and Automation
The template uses the following key formulas:
- Status Column:
=IF([@Current Stock] <= [@Reorder Point], "Low Stock", IF(AND([@Current Stock] > 0, [@Current Stock] > [@Reorder Point]), "OK", "Out of Stock")) - Next Expected Delivery:
=IF([@Last Reorder Date] <> "", DATEVALUE([@Last Reorder Date]) + 7, "") - Current Stock (in Transactions Log): Uses SUMIFS to calculate real-time stock from transaction history.
- Total Inventory Value:
=SUMPRODUCT(Inventory_Master[Current Stock], Inventory_Master[Unit Price])(if unit price column is added)
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and quick identification of critical issues:
- Low Stock Items: Red fill with white text for Status = "Low Stock"
- Out of Stock Items: Dark red background with bold text
- Last Reorder Date (older than 30 days): Orange highlight to flag potential delays
- Near Reorder Point: Yellow fill for stock between 80% and 100% of reorder point
Instructions for Use

- Begin by entering all products into the "Inventory Master" sheet. Use dropdowns where available to ensure data consistency.
- Update "Current Stock" after every receipt or issue using the "Transactions Log" sheet.
