A wholesale board that clears itself and keeps the sale.
Wholesale units are used inventory waiting to go to auction. The board should show what still needs to move, and the sale should be on record after the row is gone.
How it runs on a spreadsheet
Sold units linger.
A car that sold last month is still on the sheet until someone deletes the row, so the list stops being a work list.
Where a unit is parked is in someone's head.
Locations are free text, so the same place is spelled three ways and cannot be sorted.
The sale disappears with the row.
Clean up the sheet and what a unit brought at auction goes with it, which is exactly what month-end reconciliation needs.
Cars that have left still show.
A unit that retailed or dropped out of inventory keeps a live card on a board about what still needs to go.
What it becomes
Sold leaves the working list
A sold unit comes off the live board at once and stays one click away.
Locations your store manages
Each store keeps its own list of places, so the same spot is spelled one way and can be sorted.
A sale record that outlives the row
What each unit brought is kept on its own, so a month's report does not shrink when the board is cleaned.
Gross, not just proceeds
The report works from what you paid where it is known, and says how many units it could not.
Cars that left are hidden and counted
Delivered, sold or gone units drop off the board behind a counted note, one click to show them.
