Formulas Required

The template relies on dynamic formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

• =IF(C2<B2, "Low Stock", IF(C2=0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) – Status field in Stock Master.
• =IF(StockMaster!C2 < StockMaster!B2, TRUE, FALSE) – Checks if current stock is below reorder point.
• =MAX(0, 10 - COUNTA(Dashboard!$D$2:$D$100)) – Estimated usage in reports.
• =SUMIFS('Team Stock Log'!E:E, 'Team Stock Log'!B:B, A2) – Total quantity used per item.
• =NOW() – Timestamp for log entries (updated automatically).
• =VLOOKUP(A2, StockMaster!A:A, 3, FALSE) – Cross-reference between sheets.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent visual cues to improve usability:

• Green background in Stock Master when stock is above reorder point.
• Yellow background when stock is near reorder point (within 10% of threshold).
• Red background for items below reorder point or zero balance.
• Conditional color in Reorder Alerts based on urgency:
  • Red: Below 10% of reorder point.
  • Orange: Between 10–30% threshold.
  • Yellow: Above 30%, but below limit.
• Highlight rows in Team Stock Log where "Action Type" is "Usage" or "Transfer".

Instructions for the User

User Setup:

1. Enter item details in the Stock Master sheet, ensuring unique IDs and accurate descriptions.
2. Create a team member list in the User Assignments sheet and assign responsibilities.
3. Add daily stock movements to the Team Stock Log, recording quantity, action type, and remarks.
4. Every night or at weekly check-ins, review the Dashboard for alerts and trends.
5. If stock drops below reorder point, update the "Reorder Alerts" sheet with a new action date and mark it as “Action Taken” after fulfillment.

Best Practices:

• Update the Stock Master every time an item is restocked or removed.
• Use consistent naming for items (e.g., "Pens – Black, 10 pcs").
• Avoid duplicate entries; use filters to search by category or user.
• Share the template with team members via cloud storage (e.g., OneDrive, Google Sheets).
