The Core Structure of Your Master Sheet
Create the following columns as the foundation of your order management system. Use a spreadsheet tool like Google Sheets or Excel with filtering enabled.
How to Integrate Everything: Links & Workflow
Step 1: Adding Product Links
Always paste the original source URL. This allows you to re-order easily and verify specifications if QC issues arise. Use the hyperlink function for cleanliness.
Step 2: Centralizing QC Images
When your agent sends QC photos, save them to a dedicated cloud folder (e.g., Google Drive, organized by Order ID). Paste the folder link into the QC Photos Link
Step 3: Attaching Receipts
Immediately save or screenshot the agent's payment confirmation. Store in a "Receipts" folder and hyperlink it in the sheet. This is your financial audit trail.
Step 4: Tracking Refunds & Issues
Dedicate a column for detailed issue description (e.g., "Wrong color, requested exchange"). Log the refund amount and date. This column helps you analyze supplier performance over time.
