How do I create a Sourcing Sheet?

Create Sourcing Sheets to organize deals by source, category or VA in ArbitrageOne.

Written by ArbitrageOne Support

Short description

Sourcing Sheets are your individual deal collections — for example one per source (Rossmann, Müller, Idealo), per category (toys, beauty) or per VA. Every sheet automatically shows up in the Sourcing Mastersheet, unless you explicitly exclude it.

Requirements

  • Logged-in ArbitrageOne account

  • Google Sheets / Sourcing permission on your plan

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Open the overview

→ Open directly in the app: app.arbitrageone.de/productsheets

Navigate to Sourcing → Sheets. You'll see a table of all existing sheets with Title, Created, Discord webhook and SKU prefix. Use the search field at the top right to find sheets by name.

Step 2: Create a new sheet

Click the + symbol at the top left. The Create new Sourcing Sheet modal opens.

Step 3: Fill in required fields

  • Name: meaningful title (e.g. "Rossmann DE October")

  • SKU prefix: max. 3 alphanumeric characters (e.g. ROS) — becomes part of your generated SKUs so you can identify the origin later

Step 4: Set optional fields

  • Discord webhook: which Discord channel gets notified for new deals in this sheet

  • Default shipping address: pre-set shipping address for purchases from this sheet

  • Default payment method: pre-set payment method when recording a purchase

  • Toggle "Products from this sheet should not appear in the Mastersheet": enable if the sheet should be excluded from the Mastersheet view

Step 5: Save

Click Save. You're returned to the overview and see your new sheet in the list. Click the title to open it.

Important notes

  • The SKU prefix cannot be changed once rows exist in the sheet — choose it deliberately.

  • Deleting works cleanly only for empty sheets. If deals are inside, exclude the sheet from the Mastersheet view via the Mastersheet toggle instead.

  • There's no fixed hierarchy between sheets — structure them via naming conventions and SKU prefixes.

Common issues

Issue: "SKU prefix already in use" Solution: The SKU prefix must be unique within your account. Choose 3 different characters.

Issue: Sheet doesn't appear in the overview after saving Solution: Reload the page. If it's still missing, check your user rights (VAs may only have access to assigned sheets).

Issue: My created deals end up in the wrong sheet Solution: In Record Purchase or the Analyzer dialog, explicitly select the target sheet in the Sourcing Sheet dropdown.
