Same dimensions
Use one row and multiply by the number of identical packed units.
Use quantity only when the packed dimensions match.
Quantity repeats a complete length-width-height profile. It does not average different boxes, estimate a missing size or turn several loose pieces into one package.
One row is one dimension profile.
Quantity repeats a complete length-width-height profile. It does not average different boxes, estimate a missing size or turn several loose pieces into one package.
Different dimensions
Create a new row for every different outer size.
Not measured yet
Keep it out of the total until all three outer dimensions are known.
row A = L₁ × W₁ × H₁ × quantity A
row B = L₂ × W₂ × H₂ × quantity B
total CBM = row A + row B + …
04 / WORKPAD NOTE
Count identical units without averaging
A repeated set can share quantity when each box has the same outside profile. Recheck any crushed or overfilled carton separately.
05 / WORKPAD NOTE
Blank tags are enough to keep groups apart
Your own package names can stay outside the calculator. What matters to the arithmetic is that each row maps to one physical size group.
06 / WORKPAD NOTE
Separate groups before adding totals
Measure each group, calculate its row subtotal, then add the valid row subtotals. This keeps one unusual item from disappearing inside an average.
