Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality
- **Current Stock Level Update**: In the Inventory Ledger, use `=SUMIFS(StockMovementLog!C:C, StockMovementLog!B:B, InventoryLedger!A2)` to calculate net stock from all movements. - **Reorder Flag Logic**: Use `=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Yes", "No")` to highlight items needing restocking. - **Average Daily Usage**: In the Reorder Recommendations sheet, calculate: `=SUMIFS(StockMovementLog!C:C, StockMovementLog!B:B, ">="&TODAY()-90, StockMovementLog!B:B, "<"&TODAY(), StockMovementLog!D:D, "Purchase") / 90`. - **Recommended Order Quantity**: Use `=ROUNDUP((Average Daily Usage * Lead Time) + Safety Stock – Current Stock Level, 0)` to suggest the optimal order size.Conditional Formatting
- Low Stock Alert: Apply red fill to cells in "Current Stock Level" where value is less than or equal to "Reorder Point". - Out-of-Stock Items: Use light gray background with bold text for items where stock level is zero. - Trend Arrows: Insert data bars in the “Last 30 Days Usage” column (calculated from movement logs) to visually represent usage trends.Instructions for the User
