Employee View Stock Control Risk Management Excel Template

This comprehensive Excel template is specifically designed for use by employees within a Risk Management framework focused on Stock Control. The template is built with the Employee View in mind—prioritizing clarity, accessibility, and actionable insights for staff who are responsible for daily stock monitoring, reporting, and early warning identification of potential supply chain or inventory risks.

The integration of Risk Management principles into this Stock Control system ensures that employees can identify anomalies such as low stock levels, expired goods, overstocking, or incoming supply delays. By providing real-time visibility and automated alerts, the template enables proactive decision-making to prevent operational disruptions.

Ssheet Names

• Stock Inventory Dashboard – Summary view with key metrics and risk indicators.
• Stock Items List – Detailed list of all stock items including current levels, reorder points, and risk status.
• Risk Alerts Log – A dynamic log that auto-generates alerts when predefined thresholds are breached.
• Purchase Orders & Replenishment – Tracks pending orders and suggests new purchases based on stock levels.
• User Activity & Compliance – Logs employee actions for audit purposes, ensuring accountability within the risk framework.

Table Structures and Column Definitions

The core structure of the template relies on three primary tables:

1. Stock Items List (Sheet: "Stock Items List")

2. Risk Alerts Log (Sheet: "Risk Alerts Log")

3. Purchase Orders & Replenishment (Sheet: "Purchase Orders & Replenishment")

Formulas Required

• Reorder Risk Flag (in Stock Items List): =IF(C4<D4,"Low Risk","Normal")
  This evaluates if current stock is below the reorder point.
• Stock Status Color (Dynamic): Uses conditional formatting to assign colors based on stock level.
• Auto Alert Generation: A formula in the "Risk Alerts Log" sheet triggers when a cell in "Stock Items List" crosses its ROP. Example: =IF(AND(C5<D5, E5>TODAY()-30), "Generate Alert", "")
• Purchase Order Suggestion: =IF(E4<D4, D4-E4,"") in the PO sheet to auto-suggest quantity.
• Last Updated Timestamp: =NOW() to track when data is changed by employee.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Highlight: Cells in "Current Stock Level" column less than "Reorder Point" are highlighted in red.
• Risk Status Color Coding: Green = Normal, Yellow = Near Threshold, Red = High Risk.
• Pending POs Highlighted: In the Purchase Orders sheet, all status “Pending” rows show orange background with bold text.
• Expiry Warnings: Cells with expiry dates less than 30 days from today are highlighted in yellow.

User Instructions

Employees should:

• Log into the template daily and verify current stock levels against the reorder point.
• Update any changes (e.g., restock, expiry) immediately using the "Last Updated By" field.
• If a risk alert appears, log it in the “Risk Alerts Log” with a clear description and assign action to relevant team members.
• Initiate purchase orders only when stock falls below reorder point or before expiry dates are reached.
• Review the "Stock Inventory Dashboard" weekly to monitor overall risk exposure and trends.
