Excel Template Description: Process Documentation for Stock Control (Report Version)
Purpose: This Excel template is specifically designed for Process Documentation within a Stock Control system. It serves as a structured, standardized, and easily shareable report that documents every stage of stock management—from receiving goods to inventory adjustments—ensuring transparency, audit readiness, and operational efficiency.Template Type: Stock Control
Style/Version: Report Version – optimized for data visualization, reporting, and stakeholder review rather than real-time input.
SHEET NAMES & PURPOSES
The template consists of four core sheets, each serving a distinct role in the documentation and reporting process:- 1. Process Documentation Log: The central hub for recording every documented process step, responsible personnel, timestamps, status updates, and key metrics.
- 2. Inventory Summary Report: Provides a high-level overview of current stock levels across locations and categories with real-time formulas based on input data.
- 3. Stock Movement History: Details every transaction (receipts, issues, adjustments) with full traceability for audit purposes.
- 4. Dashboard & Analytics: Visual representation of key performance indicators using charts and KPIs derived from the other sheets.

Visual KPIs and charts to support decision-making. - **Bar Chart**: Top 10 items by turnover rate (calculated as total units moved / average stock level). - **Pie Chart**: Stock category distribution (Raw, WIP, Finished Goods). - **Line Graph**: Daily movement trends over the last 30 days. - **Gauge Charts**: Reorder status (percentage of SKUs below reorder point). - **Table**: Summary of unresolved issues by process and location.FORMULAS REQUIRED
=TEXT(NOW(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"): Auto-populates current date/time in new rows.=IF(AND(BatchRef<>"", ISNUMBER(MATCH(BatchRef, 'Stock Movement History'!$F:$F,0))), "Linked", ""): Validates batch references.=SUMIFS('Stock Movement History'!$E:$E, 'Stock Movement History'!$C:$C, [Item ID], 'Stock Movement History'!$D:$D, [Location]): Calculates current stock level per item/location (Sheet 2).=IF([Current Stock] <= [Reorder Point], "Reorder Needed", "OK"): Conditional status for inventory health.=COUNTIFS('Process Documentation Log'!$G:$G, "Failed"): Tracks failure rates in process documentation.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
