Matching records in diff columns

I have three worksheets,

1. Stock Produced
2. Stock in Port
3. Stock Shipped.

All the stocks which we hold are in teh Sheet Stock Produced.

can i have a formula in excel, whereby as soon as i enter the PartID in
"Stock in Port" sheet, a column in teh Stock Sheet says, Stock in Port.
And Once i enter the PartID in Shipped Sheet, the column reads "stock
Shipped" and the PartID disappears from "Stock in Port" sheet.

In an adjacent column in the Produced sheet, add

=IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A2,'Stock In Port'!A:A,0))),"Stock In
Part",IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A2,'Stock Shipped'!A:A,0))),"Stock Shipped",""))

and copy down.

Then if in the Stock In Port sheet, add conditional formatting. Select
column A, goto CF, change Condition 1 to Formula Is and add the formula
=NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A1,'Stock Shipped'!A:A,0))) and select the Font tab and
choose a font colour of white, then exit.

Sorry, CF cannot refer (directly) to another sheet.

Create a name (Insert>Name>Define...) with a name of StockShipped and a
RefersTo value of 'Stock Shipped'!A:A. Then in CF, use a formula of
=NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A1,StockShipped,0)))
