2024 Inventory and Sales Manager Excel Template

This Inventory and Sales Manager Excel template is suited for managing inventory and sales if you are running a small business of buying products from suppliers and selling to customers. (Retail/Wholesale).

This retail inventory excel template will assist in knowing the inventory levels of each product and understanding which products to re-order. Also, you can quickly view the purchases/sales patterns over time and the best-performing products.

This Excel template is designed for Microsoft Excel, but if you are looking for a Google Sheet template, please visit Inventory and Sales Manager in Google Sheets.


A new version is available with additional features such as auto-price population. The new template has automatic price population on order line items which this one doesn’t. There are some users who do not want to auto-populate the prices as they want flexibility to change prices for different customers. For those, the template on this page would be more useful. Hence, we have retained both templates on our site.

Product Category: This allows you to categorize products. If you have numerous products, categorizing similar products together can help in understanding product performance.

Re-order Point: Amount that you set for each product, where when the current inventory level hits that amount, you will place a new purchase order to replenish inventory. (For more, read Re-Order Point Article in Wikipedia)

Inventory Template – Enter Order Details

If you have any existing inventory when you start using the template, enter them first. You can then continue to enter your new orders (purchase and sales) as they happen. The template will then give you accurate count of your inventory.

  • Order Number: This Order number is not used in the template to calculate anything. This has been provided for you to track your orders easily. You can filter the Orders table by choosing specific order number to see all the items in that order. If your systems generate any order numbers, you can enter them here. If you don’t have any such systems, you can create your own. The only recommendation is that you should have a unique order number for each order.
  • Order Type: There are two types of Orders: Purchase and Sale. When you place an order to acquire products from suppliers, it is called a Purchase order. When your customer places an order to buy products from you, it is called a Sale.
  • Order Date: For Purchase orders, this is the date when the order is placed by you to your supplier. For Sale orders, this is the date when the order is placed by your customer to you.
  • Expected Date: For Purchase orders, this is the date when the inventory becomes available for you to sell. For Sale orders, this is the date when the inventory will leave you to the customer.
  • Partner: For Purchase orders, your supplier is the Partner. For Sale orders your customer is the Partner.
  • Quantity: Number of units of products. The unit can be any numeric value. Even if your unit is not whole numbers, you can still use the Quantity field.
  • Unit Price: In Purchase orders, this is the cost of buying one unit of the product. In Sale orders, this is the revenue from selling one unit of the product.
  • Amount (Calculated field): (Unit Price X Quantity) = represents the amount of money. In Purchase orders this would be money leaving you and in Sale orders, this would be money that customers pay you.
  • Inventory Availability (Calculated field): This is the quantity (number of items) of the product available in inventory as of the Expected Date.
