Managing finances for cross-border shipping and consolidated parcels can be time-consuming. The MyCNBox platform includes a powerful, integrated spreadsheet feature designed to bring automation and clarity to your financial tracking. By leveraging built-in formulas, you can effortlessly generate precise monthly reports, turning raw data into actionable insights.

Core Automated Calculations for Financial Clarity
You can set up automatic tracking for three key financial health metrics using standard spreadsheet formulas.
1. Calculate Total Monthly Spending
Track all your shipping-related expenses in one place. Use the Example Formula:=SUM(B2:B50)
Monitor the quality of your sourced items. Calculate the percentage of items that passed QC inspection each month. Example Formula Set: Understand the financial impact of refunds due to lost/damaged parcels or QC failures. This shows the portion of your total spend that was recuperated. Example Formula:SUM
2. Determine Average QC Pass Rate
If you have 45 passes out of 50 total inspections in cells C2 and D2:
=C2/D2=AVERAGE(E2:E30)
3. Compute Total Refund Percentage
If total monthly spending is in cell F1 ($2000) and total refunds received are in cell G1 ($150):
=G1/F1
Building Your Automated Report: A Simple Framework
Structure your MyCNBox spreadsheet with clear sections for consistent data entry. Here’s a basic framework:
| Date | Description | Amount Spent ($) | QC Result (Pass/Fail) | Refund Amount ($) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-10-05 | Int'l Shipping - Parcel A | 85.50 | Pass | 0.00 |
| 2023-10-12 | Refund for Damaged Item | 0.00 | Fail | 25.00 |
