Use case
Procurement negotiation and cost breakdown
Enter five cost components separately.
Calculate supplier profit from a reasonable margin.
Link raw material price changes to total product cost.
Change the raw material increase and the total cost variance updates automatically.
Workflow
Should-cost breakdown flow
Break down cost, set the raw material scenario, then convert variance into negotiation evidence.
1
Split cost components
Separate materials, labor, overhead, logistics, and supplier profit.
2
Enter material increase
Test how sensitive total cost is to raw material movement.
3
Calculate fair price
Use formulas to produce an adjusted cost floor.
4
Prepare negotiation logic
Use variance amount and percentage as negotiation support.
System mapping
How the workbook can become a system
Use the workbook to align inputs first, then systemize the alerts, approvals, and cross-team sync that repeat often.
