4. Create a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel, Google Sheets,…) and create 8 fields – exactly in this order: stock card, part number, stock item, serial number, external identification, amount, tax, and price. These fields are mandatory. Your custom fields must be entered AFTER these mandatory fields. Their order is arbitrary.
