Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of Excel formulas to automate key functions:

• =COUNTIFS(Reorder Alerts!C:C, "<=" & Reorder_Point) – Counts total items below threshold.

Conditional Formatting

To improve visibility and team awareness, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Alerts: Red background in "Stock Levels" when quantity is below reorder point.
