Table Structures and Data Types

1. Inventory Master List (Sheet: 'Inventory Master List')

This table tracks each stock item in the office system. It is structured as an Excel Table (Ctrl+T) with the following columns: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each item, e.g., "OFF-001" | | Item Name | Text (Max 50 characters) | Descriptive name, e.g., "A4 Printer Paper" | | Category | Drop-down List (e.g., Stationery, Electronics, Cleaning Supplies) | Classifies items into logical groups for filtering | | Unit of Measure (UoM) | Drop-down: Units, Packs, Boxes, Reams | Specifies how the item is counted | | Current Stock Quantity | Number (Whole numbers only) | Real-time count updated via transaction log | | Reorder Level (Minimum Threshold) | Number (Positive integer) | Below this value triggers a reorder alert | | Supplier Name | Text/Reference to Supplier Info Sheet | Links to supplier details for procurement | | Lead Time (Days) | Number (Positive integer) | Approximate time between order and delivery | | Last Updated Date | Date Format (MM/DD/YYYY) | Automatically updated on edits |

2. Stock Transactions Log (Sheet: 'Stock Transactions Log')

This sheet records every stock movement—receipts, usage, returns, or transfers. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Transaction ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique code for each transaction | | Date & Time | DateTime Format (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM) | Timestamp of the transaction | | Item ID | Number/Text (Linked to Master List) | References master list entry | | Transaction Type | Drop-down: "Received", "Used", "Returned", "Transferred" | Defines movement type | | Quantity Change | Number (Positive/Negative) | Positive for incoming, negative for usage | | From/To Location | Text/Location Name (e.g., Accounting Dept, Storage Room) | Tracks internal movement if applicable | | Reference / PO # | Text (Optional) | Purchase Order or invoice number associated with the transaction |

3. Supplier & Vendor Info (Sheet: 'Supplier & Vendor Info')

A reference table to store supplier details. | Column Name | Data Type | |-------------|-----------| | Supplier ID | Number/Text | | Company Name | Text | | Contact Person | Text | | Email Address | Email Format Validated | | Phone Number | Text (Formatted) | | Delivery Terms (e.g., "3 days", "Next Day") | Text |

Formulas and Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure automatic updates and error prevention:

Dynamic Current Stock Calculation: In the 'Inventory Master List', the CURRENT STOCK QUANTITY column uses:
```
=SUMIFS('Stock Transactions Log'!$E:$E, 'Stock Transactions Log'!$C:$C, [@[Item ID]])
```
This formula sums all quantity changes for a given Item ID.
Reorder Alert Flag: A new column titled "Low Stock Alert" uses:
```
=IF([@[Current Stock Quantity]] <= [@Reorder Level], "REORDER REQUIRED", "OK")
```
This triggers alerts when stock drops below threshold.
Auto-Generated Item IDs: The Item ID column uses a formula:
```
=CONCATENATE("OFF-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))
```
(Adjust based on starting row) to ensure consistent and sequential naming.
Date & Time Stamp: In the 'Stock Transactions Log', date/time is auto-filled using:
```
=NOW()
```
with a helper column to format it as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM.

Conditional Formatting

To improve visual readability, the template applies conditional formatting rules:

Red Highlight for Low Stock: Cells in the "Current Stock Quantity" column where value ≤ Reorder Level are highlighted in red.
Green Highlight for Safe Levels: Values above reorder level are shown in light green.
Auditory Alert Flag (Text Color): "REORDER REQUIRED" text appears in bold red.
Date-Based Alerts: Transactions older than 30 days are flagged with a yellow background.
