Stock Summary Dashboard (Overview Sheet)
This sheet provides real-time visibility into inventory health with strategic KPIs and dynamic charts. It aggregates data from the Daily Stock Log using pivot tables and formulas.
Formulas Required
- Auto-fill Product Name:
=VLOOKUP(A2, 'Data Reference'!$A:$F, 3, FALSE) - Total Value:
=D2 * E2 - Daily Stock Balance (per product): Using SUMIFS:
=SUMIFS('Daily Stock Log'!$H:$H, 'Daily Stock Log'!$C:$C, C2, 'Daily Stock Log'!$A:$A, $Z$1)(where Z1 contains a dynamic date filter). - Stock Alert Flag:
=IF(SUMIFS('Daily Stock Log'!$H:$H, 'Daily Stock Log'!$C:$C, C2) <= 'Data Reference'!$E2, "LOW", "OK") - Reorder Quantity (Safety Stock Strategy):
=MAX(0, 'Data Reference'!$F2 - SUMIFS('Daily Stock Log'!$H:$H, 'Daily Stock Log'!$C:$C, C2)) - Monthly Consumption Rate:
=AVERAGEIFS('Daily Stock Log'!$H:$H, 'Daily Stock Log'!$A:$A, ">= "&TODAY()-30, 'Daily Stock Log'!$C:$C, C2)
Conditional Formatting
- Stock Level Alerts: If quantity drops below safety stock (from Data Reference), highlight the cell in red.
- High-Value Items: Apply yellow fill to any transaction with Total Value > $1,000.
- Daily Stock Balance Trends: Use data bars in the dashboard to visualize stock levels over time (e.g., last 7 days).
- Red Flag for Negative Stock: Highlight cells in red if balance is negative (indicating possible error or overselling).
User Instructions
- Daily Setup: Open the template each morning. Verify that the date in cell Z1 (dashboard) matches today’s date.
- Data Entry: In the "Daily Stock Log" sheet, record every inbound/outbound transaction using consistent formats. Use dropdowns for accuracy.
- Automatic Updates: The dashboard updates in real-time. Review alerts and take corrective action (e.g., place reorder).
- Strategy Integration: In "Strategy Planning Tracker," link daily actions to strategic goals (e.g., “Reduced excess stock by 15%” – update this weekly).
- Monthly Review: Use the "Reorder & Forecasting Engine" to generate next month’s procurement plan based on demand trends and strategy targets.
