FAQ:

Does the status update automatically?
Yes. The workbook updates status from ordered and received quantity.

Can I track full inventory with this?
No. This template is for project order and delivery tracking, not full warehouse management.

Why one line per order item?
Because the summary stays much cleaner and the status logic behaves. Miracles remain optional.
Does this work in Google Sheets?
Yes. A Google Sheets version is included in the download pack. Open the link in GOOGLE-SHEETS-LINK.txt, click "Make a copy", done.

Can I edit this in Excel?
Yes. The .xlsx file works in MS Excel 2016+ (Windows/Mac) and free LibreOffice Calc. No special add-ins required.

Is this a physical item?
No. This is an instant digital download — you get the files immediately after purchase.
