Sheet Names

• Stock Performance Dashboard (Primary Sheet): The central hub combining all data into a single view with real-time KPIs.
• Data Entry (Optional Add-On Sheet): A dedicated sheet for manual input or CSV import, ensuring data integrity and reducing errors.
• Report Summary (Hidden by default): Automatically generated summary section used for exports or external reporting.

Table Structures and Data Organization

The core of the template is a single, well-structured table embedded within the "Stock Performance Dashboard" sheet. The table includes six main sections:

1. Product Information: Includes product ID, name, category, unit of measure.
2. Current Stock Levels: Tracks current quantity on hand and safe stock thresholds.
3. Reorder Metrics: Defines reorder point, lead time, and order frequency.
4. Sales & Performance Tracking: Contains monthly sales volume, units sold, and turnover rate.
5. Performance KPIs: Aggregated performance indicators such as stockout rate, overstock percentage, and days of inventory.
6. Alert Flags: Dynamic flags indicating critical levels or poor performance.

Columns and Data Types

The primary table includes the following columns with defined data types:

All numeric fields are formatted as numbers with appropriate decimal precision. Percentages are stored as values (e.g., 0.065 for 6.5%) to ensure accuracy in formulas.

Formulas Required

The template uses a series of dynamic and conditional formulas to calculate key performance indicators:

• Stockout Risk (%): =IF([Units in Stock] < [Safety Stock Level], (1 - ([Units in Stock]/[Safety Stock Level])), 0)
• Turnover Rate (%): =IF([Sales Units (This Month)] > 0, ([Sales Units (This Month)] / [Sales Units (Last Month)]) * 100, "N/A")
• Status Flag: =IF(AND([Units in Stock] <= [Reorder Point], [Lead Time] > 1), "⚠️ Reorder Required", IF([Stockout Risk] > 5, "⚠️ High Risk", "✅ In Range"))
• Inventory Days: =([Units in Stock]/[Average Monthly Sales]) * 30
• Total Stock Value (Optional): = [Units in Stock] * [Unit Cost] (requires external cost input)

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies conditional formatting to enhance data visibility:

• Reorder Flag Cells: Green if stock > reorder point; Yellow if between 80% and 100% of safety stock; Red if below reorder point.
• Stockout Risk (%): Red if >5%, Orange if 2–5%, Green otherwise.
• Turnover Rate: Bright green for >3%, yellow for 1–3%, red for <1%.
• Status Flag Cell: Applies color-based labels (green, yellow, red) to instantly highlight risk levels.

Users should:

1. Enter product details and initial stock levels in the first row of each product.
