Table Structures & Column Definitions

Daily Inventory Log (Primary Table)

This sheet records daily inventory changes with precision, supporting long-term strategy planning. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------------------|---------------------|-----------| | Date | Date | The date of the transaction (e.g., 2024-04-05). Must be entered in a consistent format. | | Item ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier for each inventory item (e.g., INV-1025). | | Item Name | Text | Name of the product or material (e.g., "Premium Steel Nuts, M8"). | | Category | Text | Grouping for strategic categorization (e.g., Raw Material, Finished Good). | | Opening Stock | Integer | Quantity on hand at the start of the day. | | Received Qty | Integer | Units received during the day (from suppliers or production). | | Dispatched Qty | Integer | Units shipped to customers or moved to production. | | Closing Stock | Integer (Formula) | Automatically calculated: Opening + Received - Dispatched. | | Reorder Point | Integer | Predefined threshold triggering a restock alert (set in strategy planning). | | Safety Stock Level | Integer | Minimum buffer stock level maintained for strategic resilience. | | Status | Text | "Normal", "Low Stock Alert", "Overstock", or "Out of Stock" (based on logic). |

Forecast & Replenishment Planner

Supports daily strategy planning by predicting future needs. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------------------|---------------------|-----------| | Item ID | Text/Number | Links to the Daily Inventory Log. | | Forecasted Demand (Next 7 Days) | Integer | AI-assisted or moving average-based forecast. | | Reorder Quantity Suggested | Integer | Based on demand, lead time, and safety stock formulas. | | Lead Time (Days) | Integer | Supplier delivery duration from order placement to receipt. | | Next Expected Delivery | Date | Calculated as: Order Date + Lead Time. |

Formulas Required

The template uses robust Excel formulas to automate calculations and enhance strategic accuracy: - Closing Stock: `=Opening_Stock + Received_Qty - Dispatched_Qty` - Status: `=IF(Closing_Stock <= Safety_Stock, "Low Stock Alert", IF(Closing_Stock > Reorder_Point * 1.5, "Overstock", "Normal"))` - Reorder Quantity Suggested: `=MAX(0, (Forecasted_Demand * Lead_Time / 7) + Safety_Stock - Closing_Stock)` - Next Expected Delivery: `=IF(Reorder_Qty_Suggested > 0, TODAY() + Lead_Time, "No Order Pending")` These formulas allow real-time strategic adjustments based on daily changes.

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual decision-making by highlighting critical inventory conditions: - Low Stock Alert (Red): Applies to rows where Closing Stock ≤ Reorder Point. - Overstock (Orange): Highlights items where Closing Stock exceeds 150% of Reorder Point. - Critical Items (Bold + Red Text): For items with zero closing stock or that are overdue for replenishment. - Safe Zone (Green Highlight): Applies to all items within acceptable safety range.
