Designed with corporate accountability in mind, this template ensures compliance with internal policies while reducing unexpected downtime and travel disruptions.

Formulas Required

=VLOOKUP(A2,AssetInventory!A:E,5,FALSE): Pulls last maintenance date and service interval for auto-calculating Next Due Date.
=IF(TODAY()>NextDueDate,"Overdue",IF(TODAY()+7>NextDueDate,"Pending","Completed")): Dynamically updates Status column.
=DAYS(DateOfTripEnd, DateOfTripStart): Calculates trip duration to assess usage intensity.
=SUMIF(MasterLog!H:H, "Vehicles", MasterLog!K:K): Sum total cost for vehicle maintenance only.
=COUNTIFS(Status,"Overdue"): Total overdue maintenance tasks for Dashboard KPI.

Conditional Formatting

Red fill: Status = “Overdue” and Next Due Date is past.
Yellow fill: Maintenance due within 7 days (Status = “Pending”).
Green fill: Status = “Completed”.
Text in red if Mileage exceeds threshold (e.g., >15,000 miles for vehicles since last service).

User Instructions

2. Populate the Travel Schedule with planned trips, assigning each employee an asset.
3. After each trip, complete the Master Log with maintenance details using dropdowns to ensure consistency.
