Managing extensive procurement hauls can feel overwhelming. The ACBuy Spreadsheet transforms this complexity into clarity, putting you firmly in command. The key to effortless management lies in mastering its powerful filtering system.
Why Filtering is Your Command Center
When dealing with dozens or hundreds of items from various sources, a single, unorganized list is a recipe for confusion and missed details. ACBuy's filters allow you to instantly isolate and focus on specific segments of your order, turning a massive dataset into actionable, manageable views.
Core Filters for Total Control
1. Filter by Seller
This is crucial for coordinating communications and tracking supplier performance. With one click, view all items from a specific seller to:
- Check unified shipping status or ask consolidated questions.
- Compare pricing and service across different vendors.
- Manage your relationship with each supplier effectively.
Tip: Combine this with a "Status" column to see which items from a particular seller are still pending purchase.
2. Filter by Category
Organize your haul logically to streamline QC and planning. Filtering by category (e.g., "Electronics," "Apparel," "Home Goods") helps you:
- Conduct focused quality checks on similar items.
- Plan for storage or onward shipping based on product type.
- Analyze spending distribution across different parts of your inventory.
3. Filter by QC Status
This is arguably the most critical filter for maintaining order integrity. Use status tags like Pending, Passed, Failed, or Awaiting Photos
Tip: A quick filter on "Failed" or "Pending" gives you a perfect daily action list.
Pro Tip: Combine Filters for Precision
For ultimate control, use multiple filters simultaneously. For example, you can filter to show only "Apparel""Seller_X""Pending QC"
