What's inside

Four questions every stock sheet should answer

You type three simple lists. Every other tab is formulas — no macros, no add-ins, nothing hidden you can't click on and read.

01

What do I order today?

Safety stock, reorder point, days of cover and a status for every product — out of stock, order now, order soon, OK — with the quantity to order, rounded to the supplier's minimum and pack size.

Reorder tab · Purchase plan · PO draft
02

Which products carry my money?

ABC by 12-month value, XYZ by how predictable sales are, and a stocking policy for each of the nine classes — so you know where tight control pays and where it doesn't.

03

Where is cash stuck?

Products with no sale in six months, slow movers with more than 180 days of cover, and stock far above the level you need — with the cash each one ties up and what to do about it.

Dead stock tab · top 10 on the Dashboard
04

Which suppliers can I trust?

Real lead time, on-time rate, fill rate and an A–D grade for every supplier, from your delivery history. Leave a product's lead time blank and the kit plans with what the supplier really delivers.

Sample run

What the sample data shows

The file ships with a realistic catalogue — 40 products, 5 suppliers, a year of sales and 63 deliveries, with an unreliable supplier and some dead stock already in it. Open it and every tab has something to say.

That last column matters. Products bought from Hanse are planned with 43 days, not the 28 they promise — so the reorder point already allows for how late they really are.

Questions

The things people ask first

Which programs does it work in?

Excel 2010 or later, Microsoft 365, Google Sheets and LibreOffice. It only uses ordinary formulas, so nothing needs enabling and it works offline.

What data do I need?

Three lists: your products (SKU, supplier, unit cost, stock on hand and on order), units sold per month for each product, and your past deliveries (order, promised and received dates). Three months of sales is enough to start; twelve is better. Deliveries are optional at first — without them, type each product's lead time yourself.

How many products can it handle?

500 products, 50 suppliers and 500 deliveries are ready to use. To go further, copy the last row's grey formulas down on each tab.

How is it different from the free Reorder Point Calculator?

The calculator answers one question: what to order. The kit adds ABC-XYZ, dead and excess stock, a supplier scorecard that feeds real lead times into the reorder points, a purchase plan by supplier, printable PO drafts and a dashboard.

How does payment work?

Payment is currently in USDT on TRC-20, because the usual gateways aren't available to me. Email me, send $39, reply with the transaction hash, and the file arrives by email — usually within a few hours, always within 24. If that doesn't work for you, email me and we'll find another way.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Email me and I'll fix it or refund you. The sample data is there so you can see every tab working before you put in your own.

Can I use it for clients?

Yes — set it up for clients as part of paid work. What isn't allowed is reselling, sharing or republishing the file itself.

Is there a subscription or update fee?

Neither. One payment, the file is yours, and version 1.x updates are free.
