What's inside

Setup
Your currency, the exchange rates you will pay, duty on goods or goods plus freight, your current supplier.
Lines
What you need: item, description, quantity, unit — up to 30 lines.
Suppliers
Currency, freight per order, a free-freight threshold, other charges, Incoterms, payment terms.
Quotes
One row per supplier per line: minimum order, order multiple, up to four price breaks, duty rate, lead time, validity.
Compare
Offers ranked per line, a side-by-side view, and each supplier's coverage and lead time.
Award
Choose a supplier per line; freight is split again over what you actually buy, with the saving.

How it calculates

  • Order quantity: what you need, raised to the minimum order and the first break, rounded up to the order multiple.
  • Unit price: the price break that the order quantity reaches.
  • Freight and other per-order charges: free above the threshold, otherwise split over the supplier's lines by value.
  • Landed cost per unit needed: everything paid for the line ÷ the quantity you need — surplus included.
  • A cheaper larger order (the next break) is shown as a tip, never applied.

Good to know

  • Only your exchange rates are used; an offer without one is left out and marked.
  • Freight is split over a supplier's lines by value, not by weight.
  • Formulas work in Excel 2010 and later, LibreOffice and Google Sheets. No macros.
  • The example data is fictional: replace the yellow cells with your own.
