Built for

  • Excel 2016+
  • Google Sheets
  • Numbers

Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.

What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.

A PO log that answers the two questions

Purchase order tracking comes down to two questions, so that’s what the sheet keeps at the top.

What’s still to arrive, and what have we not paid. The first is the Late flag and the open value at the top: a PO whose expected date has passed and which isn’t received or cancelled turns red. The second is received, not paid — the received POs minus the ticked ones, which is the pile of invoices. Days does double duty: for a received PO it’s the lead time, for an open one it’s how long it has been waiting, and the average of the first is the number to put in the next expected date.

Pro: down to the line

Items is one row per line — quantity, unit price, received quantity — and from it the PO’s amount on Orders becomes a SUMIF, so you stop retyping totals. Outstanding is ordered minus received, never below zero, and the value still to arrive across every open line is one SUMPRODUCT that skips cancelled POs. Suppliers puts the same log the other way round: spend with share bars, what’s open with each, average lead time and who is late right now. Monthly is ordered by PO date and received by received date, so the two columns don’t have to agree.

Checked, not just built

The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares fifty-five values — days and flags, every summary figure, PO amounts from the lines, outstanding quantities, each supplier’s spend and lead time, and the Monthly columns — against numbers computed outside Excel.
