The main table spans from cell A3 to G150 (expandable as needed). It includes both current inventory supply data and forward-looking sales forecasts.| Column | Name | Data Type | Description / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Item ID (SKU) | Text/Number (e.g., PROD-001) | Unique identifier for each product in the supply chain. |
| B | Product Name | Text | Name of the item (e.g., Premium Wireless Headphones). |
| C | Current Stock Level | Integer (Whole Number) | Number of units currently in inventory. |
| D | Last Month Sales (Units) | Integer | Sales volume from the previous calendar month. |
| E | Sales Forecast (Next 3 Months) | This section is split into three columns: | |
| E | Forecast - Month 1 | Integer (Calculated) | Projected sales for the upcoming month, based on historical trends and growth factors. |
| F | Forecast - Month 2 | Integer (Calculated) | Sales forecast for the second month ahead. |
| G | Forecast - Month 3 | Integer (Calculated) | Projecting sales for the third month forward. |
| Dynamic Summary Metrics (Below Table) | |||
| Total Forecast (3 Months) | Sum of E10:G10 for each row. Formula applied below the table. | ||
FORMULAS REQUIRED
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate forecasting and supply planning:- Monthly Forecast (E3):
=ROUND(D3 * (1 + $J$3), 0) - Month 2 Forecast (F3):
=ROUND(E3 * (1 + $J$4), 0) - Month 3 Forecast (G3):
=ROUND(F3 * (1 + $J$5), 0) - Total Forecast (H3):
=SUM(E3:G3) - Reorder Threshold: The template includes a dynamic reorder trigger: if the forecast exceeds current stock, suggest reordering.
- Growth Rate Inputs: Cells J3-J5 contain user-editable growth rate assumptions (e.g., 10%, 8%, 5%) for each month respectively.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
To enhance visual clarity and highlight action items:- Red Background: If current stock is less than 50% of the next month’s forecast (i.e.,
=C3 < E3 * 0.5) → indicates critical shortage. - Yellow Background: If stock is between 50% and 80% of forecast → caution, plan for replenishment.
- Green Background: If stock is above 80% of forecast → sufficient supply; no action required.
- Bold Text: Highlight rows where the total forecast exceeds current stock (i.e.,
=H3 > C3) to indicate a need for new supply orders.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
1. **Input Your Data**: Begin by entering your product list, including Item ID, Product Name, and Current Stock Level (Column C). 2. **Enter Last Month Sales**: Populate Column D with the actual units sold last month. 3. **Set Growth Assumptions**: Adjust growth rates in cells J3–J5 based on market trends, promotions, or seasonality (e.g., 10%, 8%, 5%). 4. **Review Forecasted Values**: The template auto-calculates forecasts for the next three months using compound growth. 5. **Check Conditional Formatting**: Use color codes to identify high-risk items (red), caution items (yellow), and safe stock items (green). 6. **Generate Purchase Recommendations**: For any red/yellow rows, consider placing a new supply order based on forecasted demand minus current inventory. 7. **Update Monthly**: Refresh the sheet each month by replacing last month’s sales data in Column D and adjusting growth assumptions accordingly. ---EXAMPLE ROWS
