Build a Real-Time Inventory Dashboard in Google Sheets (Reorder Points + Low-Stock Alerts)

Short summary

A practical tutorial for building a real-time inventory dashboard in Google Sheets using Apps Script, with reorder point formulas and automated low-stock email alerts. The solution distinguishes available stock (on-hand minus allocated) from raw shelf count to prevent overselling, and uses batch read/write operations for performance. Three core functions handle reorder point calculation, available stock computation, and status determination across hundreds of SKUs.
