Inventory Value: =Current_Stock_Level * Unit_Cost (applied to all inventory rows)
Reorder Alert: =IF(Current_Stock_Level <= Reorder_Point, "Order Needed", "OK")

Total Travel Cost by Destination: Use SUMIFS to aggregate expenses per location.

Example Rows

These examples show how travel logistics are directly tied to physical inventory management.
