Formulas and Automation
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and reduce manual input errors:
- Current Stock Level (Automated):
=SUMIFS('Stock Movement Log'!$E:$E, 'Stock Movement Log'!$C:$C, [SKU], 'Stock Movement Log'!$D:$D, "Purchase") - SUMIFS('Stock Movement Log'!$E:$E, 'Stock Movement Log'!$C:$C, [SKU], 'Stock Movement Log'!$D:$D, "Sale") - Reorder Alert Flag:
=IF([Current Stock Level] <= [Reorder Point], "REORDER NOW", "")
- Stock Turnover Rate (per product):
=IFERROR([Total Sales Quantity in Last 30 Days] / AVERAGE([Current Stock Level]), 0)
- Lead Time Variance:
=IF(ABS('Supplier Information'!$D2 - [Actual Delivery Delay]) > 7, "High Risk", "On Track")
Conditional Formatting
Visual cues are implemented using conditional formatting to instantly identify critical conditions:
- Red fill with bold text: For any item where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point.
- Yellow highlight: For stock levels between 80% and 100% of ROP.
- Green background: If inventory is above safety stock and below reorder point (stable condition).
- Pulsing red border: Applied to any movement with "Pending" status over 3 days old.
