Sheet Names

• Inventory Master List: Contains core inventory details including product ID, name, category, reorder point, lead time.
• Performance Tracking: Tracks performance indicators such as stock turnover rate, sales volume per month, days of inventory on hand (DIO), and profit margin.
• Reorder Alerts: Automatically flags items approaching or below reorder levels with visual warnings.
• Dashboard Summary: A high-level view showing KPIs like total inventory value, average stock turnover, and performance rankings by category.
• Transaction Log: Records all inventory movements (in/out), including dates, quantities, and staff responsible.

Table Structures & Column Definitions

All tables are structured using standardized naming conventions to ensure consistency and ease of data integration. Each column is clearly defined with data types for accuracy and automation.

A unique identifier for each item.

Name of the product or SKU.

CALCULATED: Sales / Average Stock.

CALCULATED: Average Stock / Monthly Cost of Goods Sold.

Formulas Required

• =AVERAGE(C2:C100): Calculates average stock across a range in Inventory Master List.
• =IF(B5<=C5, "REORDER REQUIRED", ""): In Reorder Alerts sheet, checks if current stock is below reorder point.
• =D2/C2: Stock Turnover Rate (Sales Volume / Average Stock).
• =ROUND(B2/AVERAGE(B3:B10), 2): Days of Inventory on Hand (DIO).
• =IF(ISBLANK(E5), "N/A", E5): Ensures profit margin is only calculated when revenue data exists.
• =SUMIFS(Performance!B:B, Performance!A:A, "<="& TODAY()-30): Calculates total sales from the last 30 days.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Red Fill: Applied to "Current Stock Quantity" when below reorder point (triggered via formula).
• Yellow Highlight: Used for stock turnover rate less than 1.0, indicating poor inventory efficiency.
• Green Background: Applied when profit margin exceeds 25% in Performance Tracking sheet.
• Gradient Fill: On the Dashboard Summary sheet to show performance ranking from low to high (e.g., green to red).
