Definition
Specifies whether or not a quantity interval includes its limit value (upper or lower limit).
The indicator can have the following values:
- ' ' - The limit value does not belong to the quantity interval
- 'x' - The limit value belongs to the quantity interval
Use
To determine the price of a material for a certain purchase quantity, the scales of the conditions are mixed.
If, in the process, a "from" and a "to" scale overlap in such a way that the upper limit of one scale is identical to lower limit of the other, three quantity intervals are generated.
If the scales do not overlap, two quantity intervals are generated.
Example
- Example 1
You are responsible for the procurement of computers for your firm:
The more computers you order from your vendor, the lower the unit price you pay for each one:
- Up to 20 pc $2,399 each
- Up to 100 pc $1,999 each
- Up to 150 pc $1,799 each etc.
The delivery costs also diminish as the order quantity increases:
- From 0 pc $150
- From 100 pc $125
- From 200 pc $100 etc.
The pricing scales for net price and delivery costs overlap. (For instance, with an order quantity of 100 pc, the higher price of $1,999/pc still applies, although at $125 the delivery costs are now lower.)
For this reason, three quantity intervals are generated:
- Up to 100 pc
The upper limit of this quantity interval is 100, whereby 100 does not belong to the interval. The interval limit value in interval indicator has the value ' ' for the upper limit. - 100 pc
This quantity interval comprises the value 100 only. - From 100 to 200 pc
The lower limit of this quantity interval is 100, whereby 100 does not belong to the interval. The Interval limit value in interval indicator has the value ' ' for the lower limit.
- Example 2
You are responsible for procuring office desks for your firm:
The more desks you order from your vendor, the lower the unit price per desk:
- Up to 20 pc $599 each
- Up to 50 pc $539 each
- Up to 100 pc $499 each etc.
The delivery costs also diminish as the order quantity increases:
- Up to 100 pc $200
- Up to 200 pc $100
The pricing scales for net price and delivery costs do not overlap. Therefore, only two quantity intervals are generated:
- Up to 100 pc
The upper limit of this quantity interval is 100, whereby 100 belongs to the interval. The Interval limit value in interval indicator has the value 'x' for the upper limit. - From 101 to 200 pc
The lower limit of this quantity interval is 100, whereby 100 belongs to the interval. The Interval limit value in interval indicator has the value 'x' for the lower limit.
