1. Dynamic Current Stock Level:
```excel =SUMIF(Movements!$B:$B, MasterList!A2, Movements!$E:$E) ``` This formula aggregates all movement quantities for each SKU to calculate real-time stock levels.2. Reorder Quantity (Economic Order Quantity - EOQ):
```excel =SQRT((2 * AnnualDemand * OrderingCost) / HoldingCost) ``` Where: - AnnualDemand: Estimated yearly usage from historical data - OrderingCost: Average cost per purchase order (e.g., $50) - HoldingCost: Cost to hold one unit for a year (e.g., 20% of item value)3. Forecasted Reorder Date:
```excel =IF(MasterList!$F2 > MasterList!$G2, "Reorder Needed", "") ``` Conditional logic flags items below safety stock.Conditional Formatting
- Low Stock Alert: If Current Stock Level ≤ Safety Stock → Highlight cell in red. - Pending Reorders: If Status = “Pending” → Fill with yellow. - Aging Items (Over 90 Days): Highlight in orange if last update date is older than 90 days. - High Movement Volume: Gradient fill based on total movements per SKU.User Instructions
