Export Shipment Profit Reconciliation
Compare estimated revenue/cost lines with actual receipts and shipment costs to calculate actual profit, margin and post-shipment variance.
The quote is a hypothesis; actual profit is the outcome.Normalize all rows into one accounting/base currency before comparing estimated and actual economics.

Export costing predicts a margin; reconciliation measures what the shipment actually earned. The important learning loop is which cost/revenue assumptions were wrong and whether that should change the next quotation.
Bring estimate and actual onto one basis
- List the revenue assumptions used in the quote.
- List each estimated shipment cost and the actual booked/paid amount.
- Include bank/FX, storage, demurrage, claims or other exceptions that materially affected profit.
How OpenFileTools processes it
Source-backed inputs, explicit assumptions.
The browser totals estimated and actual revenue/costs, compares profit and margin, and exports the reconciliation as a JSON snapshot for future quote improvement.
Questions, answered.
How is this different from the export costing calculator?
Costing is pre-deal/pre-shipment planning. Reconciliation compares that plan with actual receipts and costs after execution.
