FIELDS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template employs dynamic Excel formulas to ensure real-time data integrity and automation:

Current Quantity Update: Formula in "Current Quantity" column of tblInventory: =SUMIFS(tblTransactions[Quantity], tblTransactions[Item ID], [@[Item ID]])
Reorder Trigger: In the Low Stock Alerts sheet: =IF([@[Current Quantity]] <= [@Reorder Level], "REORDER NOW", "OK")
Auto-Generated ID: Uses Excel’s =TEXT(NOW(), "YYMMDD")&TEXT(ROW()-1, "000") for Transaction IDs.
Duplicate Prevention: Conditional formatting and data validation on Item ID and Name fields.
Average Monthly Usage: Dynamic calculation in the Dashboard to forecast reorder points: =AVERAGEIFS(tblTransactions[Quantity], tblTransactions[Item ID], A2, tblTransactions[Date & Time], ">="&TODAY()-30)

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Strategic visual cues improve usability and risk identification:

Red Highlight: Items with Current Quantity ≤ Reorder Level (High priority).
Yellow Highlight: Items with current stock between 75%–90% of reorder level (Medium alert).
Purple Text: Transactions flagged as "Damaged" or "Returned".
