• NETWORKDAYS(): Used in project timeline sheet to calculate days between milestones, supporting procurement scheduling.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting rules across sheets:

• Stock levels below reorder point → Background color turns red with yellow border.
• Items used in active projects with no delivery forecast → Highlight in orange.
• Milestones approaching due date (within 7 days) → Light blue background.
