Definition

Defines whether a quantity interval contains its statistical value (upper or lower limit) or not.

The indicator can accept the following values:

  • ' ' - The statistical value does not belong to the quantity interval
  • 'x' - The statistical value belongs to the quantity interval

Use

In order to determine the price of a material for a particular quantity, the condition scales are mixed.

If a base and a To-scale intersect in such a way that the upper limit of one scale is identical to the lower limit of the second scale, the system generates three quantity intervals.

If the scales do not intersect, only two quantity intervals are generated.

Example

  • Example 1

    You purchase computers for your company:

    The more computers you order from a vendor, the lower the unit price per computer will be:

    • Up to 20 computers: 2,399 DM/computer
    • Up to 100 computers: 1,999 DM/computer
    • Up to 150 computers 1,799 DM/computer, and so on.

      The greater the purchase order quantity, the lower the delivery costs:

    • From 0 computers: 150 DM
    • From 100 computers: 125 DM
    • From 200 computers: 100 DM, and so on.

      The net price and delivery costs pricing scales intersect, for example, you must still pay the higher price of 1,999 DM/computer for a purchase order quantity of 100 computers, but only need to pay the cheaper delivery costs of 125 DM.

      For this reason, the system generates three quantity intervals:

    • Up to 100 computers
      The upper limit of this quantity interval is 100, although 100 does not belong to the interval. The upper limit of the indicator Interval statistical value in the interval is the value ' '.
    • 100 computers
      This quantity interval automatically includes the value 100.
    • From 100 to 200 computers
      The lower limit of this quantity interval is 100, although 100 does not belong to the interval. The lower limit of the indicator Interval statistical value in the interval is the value ' '.

  • Example 2

    You purchase desks for your company:

    The more desks you order from a vendor, the lower the unit price per desk will be:

    • Up to 20 desks: 599 DM/desk
    • Up to 50 desks: 539 DM/desk
    • Up to 100 desks: 499 DM/desk, and so on.

      The higher the purchase order quantity, the lower the delivery costs:

    • Up to 100 desks: 200 DM
    • Up to 200 desks: 100 DM

      The pricing scales of net price and delivery costs do not intersect, and therefore only two quantity intervals are generated:

    • Up to 100 desks
      The upper limit of this quantity interval is 100, although 100 does not belong to the interval. The upper limit of the indicator Interval statistical value in the indicator is the value 'x'.
    • Between 101 and 200 desks
      The lower level of this quantity interval is 100, although 100 does not belong to the interval. The lower limit of the indicator Interval statistical value in the indicator is the value 'x'.
