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

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. Sourcing Sheets overview with existing sheets and plus button in the top left

Step 2: Create a new sheet

Click the + symbol at the top left. The Create new Sourcing Sheet modal opens. Modal "Create new Sourcing Sheet" with all fields

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.
