1. Inventory Master Table (Sheet: Inventory Master)

2. Transaction Log Table (Sheet: Transaction Log)

Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and automate reporting:

• Dynamic Stock Calculation: Formula in 'Current Stock Level' updates using: =VLOOKUP([@Item ID], Inventory Master!$A:$K, 4, FALSE) + SUMIFS(Transaction Log!$D:$D, Transaction Log!$C:$C, [@Item ID], Transaction Log!$E:$E, "Receive") - SUMIFS(Transaction Log!$D:$D, Transaction Log!$C:$C, [@Item ID], Transaction Log!$E:$E, "Issue")
• Reorder Flag: Conditional formula in 'Reorder Alerts' sheet: =IF([@Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Yes", "No")
• Auto-Generate IDs: Uses =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&COUNTA(Inventory Master[Item ID])+1 to generate unique item codes.
• Summarization: PivotTables pull data from Transaction Log and Inventory Master for departmental reports.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight critical items, the following rules are applied:

• Low Stock Alert: Red fill with white text when Current Stock ≤ Reorder Point.
• Aging Items: Orange background for items last updated over 90 days ago.
• Highest Usage Items: Top 5 items in terms of quantity issued receive a gold highlight.
