Formulas and Automation Features

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas for dynamic data processing:

Dynamic SKU Generation: Uses =TEXT(TODAY(),"yy")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"0000") to auto-generate unique SKUs.
Stock Level Calculation: In the Inventory Transactions sheet, uses =SUMIFS(Quantity, ProductID, [@ProductID], TransactionType, "Inbound") - SUMIFS(Quantity, ProductID, [@ProductID], TransactionType, "Outbound") to calculate real-time stock.
Reorder Alerts: Uses conditional logic: =IF([@StockLevel] <= [@ReorderPoint], "REORDER REQUIRED", "").
Process Documentation Status Tracker: Uses a lookup formula to pull the latest version of process documentation from the Process Documentation Log.
Duplicate Detection: Applies a conditional check using =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$1000, A2)>1 for SKU duplicates.
Forecasting Engine (in Dashboard): Uses linear regression with =FORECAST.LINEAR(NextMonth, ActualQtyRange, MonthNumberRange).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual data interpretation and alert management:

Low Stock Alert: Cells in "Stock Level" column turn red if value is below Reorder Point.
Out-of-Date Documentation: Highlight rows where "Last Update Date" is older than 90 days (orange background).
High Value Items: Products with "Value > $10,000" are shaded in light blue.
Process Owner Assignment: Highlight missing Process Owners (blank cells) in yellow.
Duplicate SKU Detection: Applies a custom rule to flag duplicates in the Product Master sheet using color scale.
