Efficient workflow management is crucial in e-commerce operations. For teams using KAKOBUY, mastering spreadsheet filters is a powerful way to prioritize Quality Control (QC) tasks, ensure timely shipments, and maintain product standards.
The Power of Filtering for QC Prioritization
A typical item list can become overwhelming. By applying column filters, you can instantly transform a chaotic inventory sheet into an organized action plan. This guide outlines three key filtering strategies.
Step-by-Step Filtering Strategies
1. Filter by "Pending Inspection" Status
Identify all items requiring initial review.
- Locate your "QC Status" or "Inspection" column.
- Click the filter dropdown in the column header.
- Select only the "
Pending" or "Awaiting QC" option. - Your view now shows only items needing immediate QC attention.
2. Isolate "Failed QC" Items for Re-inspection
Focus on items that need corrective action and re-evaluation.
- Use the same "QC Status" column filter.
- This time, choose the "
Failed" or "Reject" status. - Consider adding a secondary filter on a "Failure Reason" column to batch similar issues (e.g., all packaging faults).
3. Prioritize by "Urgent Shipping" Requirements
Prevent delays by catching time-sensitive orders.
- Locate columns like "Ship By Date" or "Priority".
- For dates: use a "Date Filter" to show items shipping today or within the next 24-48 hours.
- For priority levels: filter by tags like "
Urgent", "Expedited", or "Same-Day".
Advanced Workflow: Combining Filters
For maximum efficiency, use multiple filters simultaneously.
