Formulas Required
This editable Excel template relies on dynamic formulas to automate logistics cost calculations and reporting:
- Total Invoice Amount (Column L):
=IFERROR(Freight_Charges + (Freight_Charges * Fuel_Surcharge) + Insurance_Cost, 0) - Fuel Surcharge Value:
=Freight_Charges * (Fuel_Surcharge / 100)– displayed separately in column K. - Delivery Delay (Days): In the "Shipping Details" sheet:
=IF(Actual_Delivery_Date <> "", Actual_Delivery_Date - Planned_Delivery_Date, "") - Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting based on status value.
- Automated Invoice ID: Uses a formula like:
=CONCATENATE("INV-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(COUNTA(Invoice_ID_Column)+1, "000"))
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual tracking for logistics planning purposes:
- Overdue Invoices: Highlight red if status = “Overdue” and current date > planned delivery date.
- Delayed Deliveries: Apply yellow fill to rows where Delivery Status = "Delayed".
- Paid Invoices: Green background for entries with status "Paid".
- Rising Freight Charges: Color scale gradient based on freight costs (red → green) for trend analysis.
- High-Value Shipments: Bold red font if insurance cost exceeds $10,000.
