In Weekly Budget Tracker, enter monthly budget allocations per category for each week (Week 1 to Week 4). 4. Record inventory transactions in the Inventory Transactions sheet daily—each purchase or sale adds a row with accurate dates, item codes, quantities, and costs. 5. The system auto-calculates stock levels and actual spend per week. 6.
