1. **Reorder Alerts:** Highlight rows in the “Stock Levels & Reorder Alerts” sheet where “Reorder Flag” is “Yes” using red fill with white text. 2. **Low Stock Thresholds:** Apply yellow highlight to cells in "Available Stock" column if value is less than 50% of Reorder Threshold. 3. **Overdue Allocations:** Use orange text for allocations where "Allocated Date" is older than 7 days and status is still “Pending”. 4. **Trip Status Color Coding:** In the Trip Overview sheet, use green for “Confirmed”, yellow for “In Progress”, red for “Delayed”.Instructions for Users
1. Open the template and enable macros (if required) to unlock interactive features. 2. Begin by populating the **Inventory Tracker** with all items your organization uses in travel operations. 3. Add suppliers in the **Supplier Management** sheet to track delivery timelines and pricing. 4. For each new trip, create a record in the **Trip Overview** sheet and use it as a reference for allocation. 5. In **Trip-Specific Inventory Allocation**, assign required inventory items from the master list using their Item ID. 6. Update “Status” as travel progresses: confirm allocations, mark deliveries, log usage or damage. 7. The system automatically calculates available stock and flags items needing replenishment in real-time. 8. Use the **Dashboard & Visual Reports** sheet to generate reports on inventory utilization by trip type, destination, or time period.Example Data Rows
