Sheet Names
- Supply List (Main): Contains the core table of supplies with metadata and status tracking.
- Status Dashboard: A compact summary dashboard displaying key metrics like total supplies, low-stock alerts, and compliance status.
- Process Reference: Houses a brief description of the process being documented, including inputs, outputs, responsible roles, and version history.
- Change Log: Tracks modifications to the supply list over time (date, user, change description).
Table Structures and Columns
Supply List (Main) Table Structure:
This primary table consists of 10 columns with specific data types and constraints to ensure accurate process documentation. The table is structured as a dynamic Excel Table (created via "Format as Table" feature) for automatic expansion and formula propagation. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|------------| | Supply ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier in format “SUP-001”, automatically incrementing when new entries are added. | | Item Name | Text (Required) | Clear name of the supply (e.g., "Nitrile Gloves", "Solder Paste"). | | Category | Dropdown List (Predefined values: Raw Material, Consumable, Equipment, Packaging) | Classifies the type of supply for filtering and reporting. | | Unit of Measure | Dropdown (Units: pcs, kg, liters, rolls) | Defines how quantity is measured. Ensures consistency across inventory counts. | | Quantity Required Per Process Step | Number (Positive Decimal) | Amount used per unit of output or per execution cycle. | | Current Stock Level | Number (Positive Integer) | Real-time count available in inventory. Can be updated manually or linked to other systems. | | Reorder Point | Number (Positive Integer) | Threshold trigger for reordering; when stock drops below this value, a low-stock alert is generated. | | Lead Time (Days) | Number (Integer ≥ 0) | Estimated time in days from order placement to delivery. Critical for forecasting and planning. | | Supplier Name | Text | Name of the vendor providing the item. | | Last Updated By | Text (Auto-fill via User Function) | Automatically populates with the username when changes are made using a VBA macro or data validation rule. |Process Reference Table:
This section contains metadata about the process being documented. It supports traceability and compliance: | Field Name | Data Type | Description | |------------|-----------|------------| | Process ID | Text (e.g., "PRC-01") | Unique identifier for the process in the organization’s system. | | Process Title | Text | Descriptive title (e.g., “PCB Assembly Line” or “Quality Inspection Phase”). | | Version Number | Number (Decimal) | Tracks document versioning; increments when changes are made. | | Documented By | Text | Name of the person who created or last updated this process documentation. | | Date Documented | Date (Auto-fill) | Automatically sets the current date upon first save or change. |Formulas Required
- Auto-incrementing Supply ID: Use
=TEXT(ROW()-ROW(SupplyList[#Headers])+1,"000")in the "Supply ID" column, relative to the table's starting row. - Status Indicator Formula: In a new "Status" column (not displayed but used for dashboard logic):
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Low", IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Stock Alert Counter (Dashboard): In the Status Dashboard:
=COUNTIF(SupplyList[Status], "Low")for low-stock items.
=COUNTIF(SupplyList[Status], "Out of Stock")for critical shortages. - Lead Time Forecast: Use:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] > 0, [@Reorder Point] - [@Current Stock Level], "N/A")
Conditional Formatting
The template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules to enhance visual clarity and support quick decision-making:- Low-Stock Highlighting: Applies a red fill with white text to rows where
[Current Stock Level] ≤ [Reorder Point]. - Out of Stock Alert: Orange background if current stock is 0.
- Status Indicator Color Coding: Green for "In Stock", yellow for "Low", red for "Out of Stock" — visible in the Status column (hidden or optional).
- Reorder Point Proximity: Yellow highlight when stock is within 10% of reorder point, using a formula like:
=[@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point]*1.1
User Instructions
- Save the Template: Rename the file to reflect your project or process name (e.g., “PCB_Assembly_SupplyList.xlsx”).
- Add New Supplies: Use the "Supply List" sheet. Enter data in rows below the header. Supply IDs auto-generate.
- Update Inventory: Refresh "Current Stock Level" regularly to maintain accuracy—critical for process documentation integrity.
- Use the Dashboard: Monitor alerts on the "Status Dashboard" sheet. Click on metrics to filter and view affected supplies.
- Maintain Change Log: Every time a significant change is made (e.g., new supplier, updated reorder point), document it in the "Change Log" sheet.
- Version Control: Increment the version number in the "Process Reference" section when major changes occur.
