How It Works: Maintaining Accurate Cost Planning
The automation is designed for simplicity and reliability, integrating directly into the user's existing order tracking workflow.
1. Define Your Currencies
Users set their source currency (e.g., the supplier's CNY price) and their target local currency (e.g., USD, EUR, AUD). The spreadsheet can handle multiple currencies and orders simultaneously.
2. Input Costs & Link to Live Rates
As item costs, shipping, and other fees are entered, the spreadsheet's integrated formulas pull the current mid-market exchange rate
3. Watch Totals Update Automatically
The "Total in Local Currency" column dynamically recalculates. When exchange rates move, the finalized order total refreshes automatically upon opening the sheet or triggering an update, ensuring the displayed cost is always precise.
4. Plan with Confidence
With accurate, up-to-date totals, buyers can finalize orders, transfer funds, and manage cash flow without the fear of hidden currency-related shortfalls.
