As for objects in the scene, the channel box shows object-based transforms. For example if you create a cube at the origin, then move it and freeze transforms, it will show 0,0,0 in the channel box. This has many useful functions, but to address your situation, you can Center Pivot, then hold x and snap to the origin, then freeze the transformations.
