This comprehensive Extended Project Management Stock Control Excel Template is designed to integrate the critical aspects of both project management and stock control in a single, dynamic, and user-friendly tool.

SHEET NAMES

• Project Overview: High-level summary of all projects including timelines, budgets, and status.
• Stock Inventory Master: Central repository of all stock items with attributes like SKU, cost, lead time, and reorder level.
• Stock Movement Log: Records every entry or exit (purchase, sale, transfer) with timestamps and responsible parties.
• Project-Stock Linkage: Maps each project to the stock items it requires, showing consumption forecasts and usage patterns.
• Dashboard Summary: A dynamic visual summary of key performance indicators (KPIs) including inventory turnover, stockouts, project delays due to shortages.
• Alerts & Notifications: Automated alerts based on low stock levels or upcoming delivery dates.

TABLE STRUCTURES

The template uses normalized table structures to ensure data integrity and reduce redundancy. Each sheet contains clearly defined relational tables:

Stock Inventory Master

Stock Movement Log

Project-Stock Linkage Table

COLUMNS AND DATA TYPES

All columns are defined with appropriate data types:

• Text: SKU, descriptions, project names.
• Numbers: Quantities, cost per unit, reorder levels (integers).
• Date/Time: Entry dates, lead times.
• Boolean/Status: In stock/out of stock, project status.
• References: Project ID linking to the Project Overview sheet.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template includes several key formulas for automation:

• =IF(C2<=B2, "Low Stock", "OK") — Checks if current stock is below reorder level.
• =SUMIFS(StockMovement!E:E, StockMovement!C:C, "Purchase", StockMovement!A:A, ">=" & TODAY()-30) — Calculates total purchases in the last 30 days.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, ProjectStockLinkage!A:B, 2, FALSE) — Retrieves project name from linkage table using SKU.
• =NOW() — Automatically fills current date/time in movement logs.
• =IFERROR(DATEVALUE("1/1/2000") + (B2 * 3), "N/A") — Projects delivery dates based on lead time.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Red fill: When stock level is below reorder level or negative.
• Yellow fill: When lead time exceeds 15 days or forecast usage exceeds current supply.
• Green highlight: Projects with on-time delivery and adequate stock levels.
• Animated alerts: Dynamic alerts in the "Alerts & Notifications" sheet pop up when thresholds are breached.
