About the Inventory Spreadsheet
This Inventory Spreadsheet Template for Excel provides a ready-to-use stock management system for small businesses, warehouse managers, and operations teams. It tracks items by SKU, name, category, location, quantity on hand, reorder level, reorder quantity, and unit cost, with automatic total value calculations. A dashboard summary row displays total items, total inventory value, items below reorder point, and category count at a glance. Conditional formatting highlights low-stock items in red and well-stocked items in green. Dropdown validation for categories and warehouse locations ensures consistent data entry across up to 50 inventory items. Pair it with a work order template to link stock consumption directly to maintenance requests.
