Stock Transactions Log (Sheet 2)

Key Formulas Used Across Sheets

• CURRENT STOCK LEVEL Calculation (in Master List): =SUMIFS('Stock Transactions Log'!F:F, 'Stock Transactions Log'!C:C, InventoryMasterList!A2) This formula dynamically sums all quantity changes for each Item ID across the transaction log.
• Reorder Flag (in Master List): =IF(Current Stock Level < Safety Stock Level, "REORDER", "OK") Automatically flags items needing restocking.
• Days Until Out of Stock (Forecasting Sheet): =IF(Average Daily Usage=0, "N/A", (Safety Stock Level - Current Stock) / Average Daily Usage) Predicts how many days remain before a stockout occurs.
• Supplier On-Time Delivery Rate: =COUNTIFS(SupplierPerformance!C:C, "On Time") / COUNTA(SupplierPerformance!C:C)
• Stock Turnover Ratio: =Total Cost of Goods Sold / ((Opening Stock + Closing Stock) / 2)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and immediate insight, the template includes intelligent conditional formatting:

• Stock Levels: Red background if Current Stock < Safety Stock Level (critical alert).
• Status Column: Green "Active" text, red "Inactive" to visualize product availability.
• Reorder Flag: Bold red font and flashing border for items requiring immediate action.
• Dashboards (KPIs): Traffic light indicators: Red (low), Yellow (medium), Green (high) based on performance thresholds.
• Transaction Log: Color-coded rows by transaction type: green for purchase, red for sales, blue for adjustments.
