All of the code below goes into the codesheet of your ENTERED DATA tab. Then save the workbook in XLSM format. You may like to use the attached workbook for learning your way with this code.

Private Enum Ned                ' worksheet "Entered Data"
    ' 120
    NedFirstDataRow = 2         ' change to suit
    NedCust = 1                 ' Columns: 1 = Column A
    NedPart                     '          2 = Column B
    NedRev                      '          No assigned value means "previous + 1"
    NedQty
    NedCart
    NedShelf
End Enum

Private Enum Nct                ' worksheets "Cart x"
    ' 120

Very broadly speaking, when you add a new item in the ED sheet the procedure runs but takes no action if not all components of a row have been entered. It refuses to take action if the customer name is changed after, presumably, an entry in a CART sheet has already been made. In fact, this proibition should be extended to the shelf posiution as well.

I thought your arrangement for shelves and customer names isn't quite what it should be but went with the present arrangement. That leads to a new set of columns being added if Shelf and Customer don't match. Note that you can change existing entries, except for the customer name.

Inconsisting spelling of customer names (with and without parenthesis) and shelf IDs required some unnecessary programming but the functions are all there now - ready to become obsolete when you streamline your project. The long and the short is that I did the programming but you will need to do the testing. The program is quite complex and there are niches neither one of us may have thought about. In order to test successfully you will have to understand the program. Toward that end I added some comments which I commend to your attention. Make sure you fully understand them.

Good luck!

I placed the code in the "ENTERED DATA" sheet and when running the "test" entry, I recieved an error code when entering the part number on the on the entered data sheet telling me The worksheet "Cart" does not exist? Does this have to do with the fact that I have multiple worksheets (CART 1, CART 2, CART 3 AND CART 4)? Or is this a capitalization error? 
laycielee (rep: 2) Nov 23, '20 at 12:01 pm
The code works perfect on the example workbook I uploaded, however my actual workbook consits of 4 "cart sheets" (CART 1, CART 2, CART 3 and CART 4). I also have roundabout 20+/- 1 or 2 customers with actual customer names. I can not post that sheet here due to confidentiality contracts with customers.
laycielee (rep: 2) Nov 23, '20 at 12:11 pm
The code won't execute until all six entries have been made. If you entered an Cart that doesn't exist it should alert you. If you don't want the code to fire, leave the Cart column blank. You can create many entries and fill in the Cart after you have set up the sheet.
Customers and Shelves are different. The code creates them if they don't exist.
