Table Structures and Data Specifications

Sheet 1: Inventory Master (Data Version Core)

This sheet contains the authoritative source of all inventory data, updated on a per-item basis. It's structured as a dynamic Excel Table with named ranges to enable consistent referencing across formulas.

Sheet 2: Transaction Logs

This sheet records every movement of goods in and out of the warehouse, forming the backbone for dynamic data updates.

Sheet 3: Daily Summary Dashboard (Operations Dashboard)

This visual and analytical hub provides real-time insights into warehouse operations. Key KPIs are dynamically updated using formulas that pull data from Transaction Logs and Inventory Master.

Sheet 4: Stock Alerts & Replenishment

This sheet auto-generates purchase or production suggestions based on current stock levels and reorder points. It includes calculated reorder quantities using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model.

Sheet 5: Monthly Performance Report

This sheet aggregates data by month to show trends in inventory turnover, shrinkage, and fulfillment rates. It includes pivot tables for drill-down analysis.

Formulas & Automation (Data Version Logic)

• Dynamic Stock Level Update: In Inventory Master, =SUMIFS(Transaction_Logs[Quantity], Transaction_Logs[Item ID], [@Item ID], Transaction_Logs[Type], "Inbound") - SUMIFS(Transaction_Logs[Quantity], Transaction_Logs[Item ID], [@Item ID], Transaction_Logs[Type], "Outbound") + [Initial Stock]
• Status Indicator: =IF([@Current Stock Level]=0, "Critical", IF([@Current Stock Level]<=[@Reorder Point], "Low Stock", "In Stock"))
• Auto-Date Update: Uses TODAY() and NOW() for timestamping.
• Pivot Tables in Monthly Report use date grouping and calculated fields for inventory turnover ratio.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Critical Stock Items: Red fill with white text (Status = "Critical")
• Low Stock: Orange fill (Status = "Low Stock")
• Daily KPIs: Green for normal, yellow for caution, red for threshold exceeded.
• Date Columns: Highlight weekends or holidays if applicable.

User Instructions

1. Always use the "Transaction Logs" sheet to record every movement (inbound/outbound/adjustment).
2. Never edit the formulas in any calculated field. Use dropdowns and input only where prompted.
3. Update the "Last Updated Date" daily or after major inventory changes.
4. To add a new product, enter details in the Inventory Master table (use Ctrl+Shift+Down to extend table).
5. Generate monthly reports by copying data into Sheet 5 and refreshing pivot tables.
6. Ensure all users have access to the same version and avoid duplicate Item IDs.
