How to use this template
Switch to the ‘Inventory Tracker’ tab. List your products with their SKU code, name, category, and unit. Enter your starting Opening Stock, units purchased during the period, and units sold. Closing stock calculates automatically. Enter your unit cost, retail price, and minimum reorder threshold. The template will instantly compute stock valuation and alert you if an item drops below safety stock levels.
Formulas and methodology
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Stock In (Purchases) − Stock Out (Sales). Stock Cost Value = Closing Stock × Unit Cost. Potential Sales Value = Closing Stock × Selling Price. Stock Alert Status = IF(Closing Stock <= 0, “OUT OF STOCK”, IF(Closing Stock <= Reorder Level, “LOW STOCK”, “IN STOCK”)). Total Valuation = SUM(Stock Cost Values).
Compatibility and file details
Format: Microsoft Excel OpenXML Spreadsheet (.xlsx). File size: Approximately 7 KB. Compatible with Microsoft Excel 2016+, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc.
Frequently asked questions
Does this template use FIFO or weighted-average costing?
The template calculates stock valuation using a single entered unit cost per SKU. It is designed for straightforward inventory valuation rather than complex FIFO accounting ledgers.
Can I add more product rows?
Yes. You can insert additional rows in the table; copy the formulas from Column H, K, L, and N down to your new rows.
How do the stock alerts work?
When closing stock reaches 0 or below, it displays ‘OUT OF STOCK’. When closing stock is above 0 but less than or equal to your reorder level, it displays ‘LOW STOCK’. Otherwise, it shows ‘IN STOCK’.
