Table Structures and Data Types
Sheet 1: Data Entry & Historical Tracking
This sheet serves as the foundational source of truth for warehouse inventory data.| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (SKU) | Text / String (Unique) | Unique identifier for each product. |
| Item Name | Text | Name of the product or material. |
| Category / Department | Text (Dropdown List) | Categorize items (e.g., Electronics, Apparel, Raw Materials). |
| Date of Entry | Date | Date when inventory was recorded or received. |
| Quantity Received | Numerical (Integer) | Number of units added to stock. |
| Quantity Sold / Issued | Numerical (Integer) | Units removed from inventory during the period. |
| Current Stock Level | Numerical (Integer) | Calculated field: Remaining quantity after transactions. |
| Unit Cost | Currency (e.g., $) | Cost per unit of the item. |
| Total Inventory Value | Currency (Formula-driven) | Current Stock Level × Unit Cost |
Sheet 2: Inventory Performance Dashboard (Analysis View)
This sheet visualizes inventory trends and performance metrics. It pulls data dynamically from Sheet 1.| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (SKU) | Text (Linked from Sheet 1) | Reference to the product. |
| Item Name | Text | Name of the item. |
| Average Daily Demand (7-day) | Numerical (Float) | Average units sold per day over the last 7 days. |
| Stock Turnover Ratio | Numerical (Float) | Units Sold ÷ Average Inventory Level. |
| Days of Stock on Hand | Numerical (Float) | Current Stock Level ÷ Avg Daily Demand. |
| Inventory Value (USD) | Currency | Total value of current stock. |
| Status (Stock Health) | Text (Conditional Label) | Categorized as “Optimal”, “Overstocked”, “Understocked”. |
Formulas Required
- Average Daily Demand: =AVERAGEIFS(Sheet1!D:D, Sheet1!A:A, A2, Sheet1!C:C, "<7 days") (simplified logic; actual implementation uses dynamic date filtering).
- Stock Turnover Ratio: =SUMIFS(Sheet1!E:E, Sheet1!A:A, A2) / AVERAGE(Sheet1!I:I)
- Days of Stock on Hand: =Current Stock Level / Average Daily Demand
- Status (Stock Health): =IF(AND(DaysOfStock <= 7), "Understocked", IF(DaysOfStock >= 45, "Overstocked", "Optimal"))
- Total Inventory Value: =Current Stock Level * Unit Cost
- Inventory Aging Tier: =IF(DaysOfStock > 90, "Long-Term", IF(DaysOfStock > 30, "Medium", "New"))
Conditional Formatting
- Red Highlight: Days of Stock on Hand > 60 days (indicates overstock).
- Yellow Highlight: Days of Stock on Hand between 31–60 days.
- Green Highlight: Days of Stock on Hand ≤ 30 days (ideal range).
- Circular Icon Indicators: Use data bars to show inventory value and trend lines for turnover ratios.
User Instructions
- Enter new inventory receipts, sales, and adjustments in Sheet 1 (Data Entry).
- Ensure the "Date of Entry" column uses correct date formats (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY).
- Sheet 2 automatically updates based on formulas. No manual input needed here.
- Use the dropdown filters in Sheet 2 to segment data by Category or Status.
- In Sheet 3 (Forecasting), update demand projections for upcoming weeks using historical trends and external factors (seasonality, promotions).
- Sheet 4 displays KPIs such as inventory turnover rate, carrying cost %, stockout frequency—useful for strategy review meetings.
- Sheet 5 contains the Strategy Planning Framework with goal-setting fields: "Target Turnover", "Max Days of Stock", "Reorder Thresholds".
- Regularly export insights to PDF or PowerPoint for executive reporting.
