Excellent — yes, let’s start by detailing Sheet 1: "Inventory Log", which is the core of your vegetable inventory system in Excel.
This sheet will handle all incoming and outgoing stock movements — purchases, sales, wastage, and transfers — forming the foundation for reports and analytics.

💡 Additional Features You Can Add:

1. Dropdowns via Data Validation:

   • Transaction Type → Purchase, Sale, Wastage, Adjustment
     (Select cell range → Data → Data Validation → List)

2. Conditional Formatting:

   • Highlight rows where Transaction Type = "Wastage" (e.g., red)
   • Highlight items nearing expiry:

     =TODAY() + 2 >= $L2
     

3. Auto-Timestamp: To automatically record entry time (if using Excel VBA):

   Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
       If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
           Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
       End If
   End Sub
   

   (Optional — helps in professional setups)

🧮 Data Flow:

• Purchases add positive stock → Stock In/Out = +Qty
• Sales or wastage reduce stock → Stock In/Out = -Qty
• This sheet feeds directly into Sheet 2 (Stock Summary) using SUMIFS formulas to calculate live stock levels.
