Summary Dashboard: A high-level visual overview of stock status, KPIs, and strategic indicators.
Current Stock Levels: Detailed inventory records with item codes, descriptions, quantities, reorder points.
Stock Movement Log: Historical data on purchases, sales, adjustments (including returns and write-offs).
Reorder & Forecasting: Strategic planning tools including demand forecasts and automatic reorder suggestions.
Strategy Planning Framework: A structured workspace for setting strategic goals, defining KPIs, tracking initiatives, and aligning inventory with business objectives.

Formulas Required

Summary Dashboard – Stock Turnover Ratio: =SUMIF('Stock Movement Log'!B:B, A2, 'Stock Movement Log'!E:E) / AVERAGE('Current Stock Levels'!F:F)
Reorder & Forecasting – EOQ (Economic Order Quantity): =SQRT((2 * [Average Monthly Demand] * [Order Cost]) / [Holding Cost per Unit])
Next Reorder Date Estimate: =IF('Current Stock Levels'!F2 <= 'Current Stock Levels'!G2, TODAY() + 'Current Stock Levels'!H2, "No Reorder Needed")
Stock Alert Condition (Conditional Formatting Rule): =AND(COUNTIF('Current Stock Levels'!$F:$F, F2) <= 10)
Strategy Status Indicator: =IF(D2="On Track", "🟢", IF(D2="At Risk", "🟡", "🔴"))

Conditional Formatting

- **Low Stock Alert**: Apply red fill with white text to cells where F2 (Qty on Hand) is less than G2 (Reorder Point). - **High Stock Warning**: Yellow highlight for items where quantity exceeds 150% of average monthly demand. - **Strategy Progress Indicators**: Color-coded traffic lights in the Strategy Planning Framework based on status ("🟢" = On Track, "🟡" = At Risk, "🔴" = Behind). - **Dynamic Dashboard Charts**: Conditional formatting applied to KPI cells based on deviation from target values.
