Before you choose
Fit and practical limits.
- For a small business fulfilling wholesale orders
Understand the boundaries.
- Save a working copy. Manual entry, with no automatic sync or external connections.
- Supplied tables have fixed capacities. Extend formulas, tables and validation together before using extra rows.
- Use one currency. Blank means unknown; enter 0 when the amount is known to be zero.
- Resolve the highlighted input rows before relying on the summary.
- Uses exact-mode XMATCH. Requires Excel 2021, Excel 2024 or Microsoft 365; older Excel editions are not supported. Native Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers have not been verified.
- An order line keeps its agreed unit price, cost snapshot and discount. Changing a current product description does not reprice history.
- Part shipments are separate actual rows. Cancelled quantity reduces the outstanding commitment, but never erases units already shipped.
- Shipped margin uses contractual net price less entered unit cost. It is not cash received, an invoice, tax advice or full business profit.
Excel 2021, Excel 2024 or Microsoft 365 with XMATCH; native compatibility not verified. Local digital-engine tests are separate from native application verification.

Clean workbook, separate example and one START_HERE.pdf guide covering setup, practical limits and the internal-use license.
