Broken case charge

A broken case charge is an add on charge that you can assign to price modifiers. You can use broken case charges when the customer orders an item quantity where multiple units of measure are required for pricing. The charges apply to items with more than one pricing unit of measure. If you know that your prices already include broken case charges, then do not add these charges to the invoice.

The price that is charged to a customer is the same amount, regardless of the unit of measure that is used at order entry. For example, a customer orders 39 cans of soda pop. You price soda pop by case, by 12-pack, and by each:

Pricing unit of measure Price
Case (24-pack) $10.00
12-pack $5.50
Each $0.50

The are broken case charge for this customer is $10.00. The table shows the pricing for the orders:

Order quantity Pricing for each UOM Final price
1 case (24) $10.00 $10.00
1 12-pack $5.50 $5.50
3 each $0.50 $1.50

You can determine whether a customer gets a broken case charge when you set up the customer's ship to information in Billing. The order total is $17.00. The broken case charge of $10.00 is printed on the invoice and is added to the order line.
