Building Your All-in-One CSSBuy Tracker

Step 1: Foundation – The Core Spreadsheet Structure

Create a new spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) with the following core sheets/tabs:

Sheet Name Purpose Key Columns
Order Log Master list of all purchased items. Date, Item Name, CSSBuy Order #, Store/Link, Price (¥), Quantity, Status (Ordered, Warehouse, Shipped)
Payment Log Record every transaction to and from your CSSBuy balance. Date, Type (Top-up, Item Payment, Shipping Fee, Refund), Amount (¥), Balance, CSSBuy Transaction ID
QC Summary Dashboard for all Quality Control reports. CSSBuy Order #, Item Name, QC Photo Links/Embeds, QC Notes, GL/RL Decision, Issues Noted
Budget Overview Automatic financial summary. Total Top-ups, Total Spent (Items), Total Spent (Shipping), Estimated Haul Cost, Remaining Balance

Step 2: The Link – Connecting QC and Payments

This is the crucial step for integration. Use the CSSBuy Order Number

  1. In your QC SummaryOrder LogVLOOKUPXLOOKUP
  2. In your Order Log, use hyperlinks or simple reference numbers to link each item row directly to its dedicated QC summary row or photo album.
  3. Ensure every entry in your Payment Log
Example XLOOKUP for QC Summary:
=XLOOKUP(A2, 'Order Log'!$C$2:$C$100, 'Order Log'!$D$2:$E$100, "Not Found")
Where A2 is the Order # in QC Summary.

Step 3: Automating Budget Management

This turns your spreadsheet into a real-time dashboard of your CSSBuy expenditure.
