Absolutely, I can guide you on how to create a simple Excel format for managing your inventory stock. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open a new Excel spreadsheet.
2. Create the following columns: 'Item Name', 'Item Code', 'Incoming Stock', 'Outgoing Stock', 'Date', and 'Balance Stock'.
3. 'Item Name' and 'Item Code' are for identifying your items. You can add more columns if you have more details like 'Item Category', 'Supplier', etc.
4. 'Incoming Stock' is for the quantity of the items received.
5. 'Outgoing Stock' is for the quantity of the items dispatched.
6. 'Date' is for when the items were received or dispatched.
7. 'Balance Stock' is for the current stock in hand. You can calculate it by subtracting 'Outgoing Stock' from 'Incoming Stock'.

Remember to update the 'Incoming Stock' and 'Outgoing Stock' regularly and the 'Balance Stock' will give you the current stock in hand for each item. This simple format should help you maintain your inventory effectively. However, for more complex inventory management, you might want to consider using specialized software.

You can easily find what you are looking for on google. You will need to adapt any sheet you find to suit YOUR organisation's requirements. Thre is no one size fits all solution in these matters. If you know nothing about Excel, try doing some courses first before you embark on this project. It will never work if you don't have a clue about what you are doing.
