Key Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure real-time accuracy and automation:

Current Stock Level Calculation: Formula in the Inventory List calculates stock level by summing all movements for each item using SUMIFS: =SUMIFS(StockMovements!$E:$E, StockMovements!$C:$C, A2)
Reorder Status: Uses IF and <= to flag low stock: =IF([@Current Stock Level] < [@Reorder Point], "Low", "Normal")
Last Updated: Uses a dynamic formula (e.g., =NOW()) with conditional formatting to prevent manual edits.
Stock Turnover Rate: (On Dashboard) Calculated using: =SUMIFS(StockMovements!$E:$E, StockMovements!$C:$C, A2, StockMovements!$D:$D, "Outbound") / [@Average Inventory]

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight critical data:

Low Stock Alert: Cells in “Current Stock Level” turn red if below Reorder Point.
Reorder Status Column: "Low" status highlighted in bright yellow; "Normal" stays green.
Date Updates: Rows with last updated date older than 7 days are shaded gray to flag inactive entries.
