Sheet Names & Structure

The template consists of six well-defined sheets to ensure clarity and functionality:

1. Supply List (Main): The primary data sheet where all items are listed with detailed attributes.
2. Project Overview: A summary sheet containing project details, timelines, team members, and budget allocation.

4. Supplier Management: Stores contact information for suppliers with performance ratings.
5. Delivery Schedule: Tracks order dates, delivery timelines, and status updates.

Table Structures & Columns

The core data table in the "Supply List (Main)" sheet is structured as follows:

All columns are structured to support accurate data entry and real-time calculation. Data types include:

• Item ID: Text, unique identifier.
• Description: Text, detailed item name.
• Category: Dropdown list (e.g., PPE, Tools, IT Equipment).
• Unit of Measure: Text (e.g., pcs, meters, liters).
• Quantities: Numeric integers.
• Status: Text dropdown with options "Ordered", "In Transit", "Received", "Pending Approval", or "Out of Stock".
• Delivery Dates: Date type for tracking.

Formulas Required

The template relies on essential Excel formulas to ensure dynamic data processing:

• =C14*D14: Calculates total cost per item (Quantity in Units × Purchase Price).
• =SUMIFS(Quantity_Required, Status, "Ordered"): Totals quantity required for ordered items only.
• =IF(E2>F2, "Out of Stock", IF(E2=F2, "At Par", "In Stock")): Flags stock levels relative to demand.
• =TODAY() + G14: Automatically calculates a target delivery date based on lead time.
• Sumif/Countif functions are used across sheets to aggregate data for reporting and forecasting.
• The "Printable Summary Report" sheet pulls data via pivot table summaries and conditional formatting to highlight critical items.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visibility and alert managers of urgent supply needs, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red fill: When Quantity in Stock is less than 10% of Quantity Required (e.g., stock < 0.1 × required).
• Yellow highlight: When Status is “Pending Approval” or “In Transit”.
• Green background: For items with a lead time under 5 days.
• Border warning: Items with delivery dates less than 3 days from today are highlighted in bold red border.
