I am currently in the planning stages of a small project at work. Le
me explain the project quickly.. I'd like to get some input if
could:

At my work, we have a warehouse that houses all of our parts for ou
equipment. The problem is this: the guys that work in the warehous
do not have a system to monitor what goes in and out (except for
terrible paperwork 'system' they use). We don't know when we run ou
of parts until we actually run out - which is not funny, as you ca
imagine!

My idea is this: I want to set up a simple excel list of part number
that our inventory staff won't freak out on (ins and outs, etc.).
Basically, when a box of parts is received, I want them to look up th
specific part number and add to its total in their excel spreadsheet.
When a part is removed from the warehouse, they would subtract fro
that specific part number's total. Seems easy for most, right? You'
be surpised with our guys!

I would then like to have a second excel worksheet (locked, of course!
that would retrieve the part number totals. When these parts get belo
a certain quantity, this excel worksheet would then send an email t
the people that are responsible for ordering parts. This workshee
would contain all the part numbers, and each part number would hav
information with it such as Supplier info, costs, wait time, etc. Thi
email would provide all the information needed to make the order
nothing more.

Can I do this? Can I have excel somehow send out these email
automatically when these minimum part quantities occur?

Any ideas suggestions are *much* appreciated!

Andre
