    help building inventory control spread sheet

    Hello guys i need some help here as i'm not sure what functions to even look for since i have a couple of potential obstacles.

    I am trying to create a spread sheet to control my inventory at a bar, i have daily beer inventory and a weekly liqour inventory.

    Within this spread sheet i want to be able to do the following info:

    1 individual unit pricing, price per case vs price per unit. maybe a drop down function?

    2 comparison in sales vs count. when counting inventory physically you divide an opened bottle in tenths, but a traditional 750 ml bottle has 16 shots. when inputting my sales i would like it to compare with my physical inventory and warn me in some way about any inconsistencies. if at all possible using certain margin for error since physical inventory is taken by looking at bottle and making a reasonable guess as to the amount inside it.

    3 cocktail based inventory control. cocktails use multiple liqours, not always full shots. is there a way where if i input in my sales for example a *** on the beach the expected inventory is reduced by 1 shot of vodka and half a shot of peach schnapps?

    4 a separate sheet within the book that compares sales vs inventory, giving me an expected inventory column based on last physical count of inventory, this expected inventory column i would like to compare itself with new physical inventory column and warn me if there is any discrepancy up to a certain margin for error.


    thank you all for the help in creating this it woudl help me a lot

    i found one thing that does the whole cocktail recipe thing, and calculates cost for me. is there a way i can implement this save each individual cocktail name and then reduce it from my previous period inventory count?

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Not a small job this one, but one that you can accomplish with a little help.

    It caught my eye because of your description of measuring 10ths of bottles by eye. I worked in nightclubs about 20 years ago and it's exactly how we did it. I'd forgotten all about that. I work in the field of statistics and data analysis now, so a little more scientific than I was back then. But I digress.

    I think a good starting point would be for you to put together how you envisage this being laid out in the first place. Nothing fancy, it doesn't have to be functional, just an idea of how you see it working (inputs and outputs), what you need included, what you want it to produce. Some sample data, some manually produced expected results, along with a description of how those results would be produced will be a great starting point.

    BSB
