Step-by-Step Tracking Process
-
Logging a Recharge
After topping up your BaseTao wallet, immediately add a new row. Record the amount, payment method, and calculate the new running balance. As you use this balance to pay for orders, update the "Order IDs Linked" column to create a clear audit trail from money inflow to order expenditure.
-
Logging a Withdrawal
When you request a funds withdrawal back to your account, create an entry with a negative amount (or in a dedicated "Withdrawal" column). Recalculate your ending wallet balance, which should match the balance shown on your BaseTao account after the transaction processes.
-
Regular Reconciliation
Weekly or bi-weekly, compare the "BaseTao Wallet Balance" in your spreadsheet with the actual balance displayed on your BaseTao account dashboard. This practice ensures no transaction is missed and confirms data accuracy.
