Break Quantity

Enter the break quantities. If the vendor charges you a different rate depending on the quantity you buy, these five fields record the cutoff points. The Break Qty and Unit Cost fields determine the Plan Cost and Unit Price fields when adding or updating a line/release or Quote Cost on the blanket line of a blanket PO. The first Break Quantity must be greater than zero in order for the first Break Quantity price to be picked up by PO Lines, Blanket PO Lines, and PO Requisition Lines.

EXAMPLE: If you order fewer than 100, the vendor may charge $75 per item. But if 100 or more are ordered, the vendor only charges $65. For the first Break Quantity, you could enter 1 with a Unit Cost of $75, and for the second Break Quantity, you could enter 100 with a Unit Cost of $65.
