Table Structures & Data Types

The core data tables are structured using standard relational principles while maintaining accessibility for non-technical users:

1. Product Inventory Master

Data types: All fields are defined as text or numeric with date fields stored in standard Excel date format. The "Status" field uses a dropdown for consistency.

2. Daily Usage Log

Each row represents a daily usage event, allowing for traceability and accountability.

Formulas Required

• Stock Balance Calculation (Daily): =IF([Current Stock] - [Total Usage to Date] < [Reorder Level], "Low Stock", "OK")
• Daily Usage Sum: =SUMIFS(Daily Usage Log!C:C, Daily Usage Log!A:A, TODAY())
• Total Inventory Value: =SUMPRODUCT(Product Inventory Master![Current Stock], Product Inventory Master![Unit Price])
• Stock on Hand (End of Day): =Product Inventory Master!Current Stock - SUMIF(Daily Usage Log!D:D, “>=1”)
• Projected Reorder Date: =IF(Inventory Level < Reorder Level, DATEVALUE("2024-10-31") + (Reorder Level - Current Stock), "")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Highlight: If "Current Stock" is below "Reorder Level", highlight the row in red.
• Out of Stock Warning: If current stock = 0, apply yellow background with bold text.
• Daily Usage Over Threshold: In Daily Usage Log, if quantity used > average weekly usage (calculated via formula), highlight in orange.
• Status Tracking: Active products show green; inactive — gray.
