Building Your OrientDig Master Spreadsheet: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Establish Your Core Order Framework
Create the following foundational columns in your spreadsheet: Order ID, Product SKU, Supplier, Order Date, Quantity. This is your immutable transaction anchor.
Step 2: Integrate QC Data & Results

Step 3: Consolidate All-In Cost Calculations
Create a comprehensive cost section. Beyond Unit Cost, include:
Shipping to WarehouseTariffs & DutiesHandling FeesPayment Processing FeesTotal Landed Cost
This gives you the true cost basis for calculating net profit.
Step 4: Unify Shipping and Logistics Tracking
Incorporate key shipping fields: Carrier, Tracking Number, Ship Date, Estimated Delivery, Actual Delivery, Last Tracking Update. You can now track shipment progress without leaving your master file.
