Supplier quote comparison — quantity per pack scenarios.
How does changing quantity per pack affect supplier quote comparison when the other inputs stay fixed?
What this decision changes
A package quantity is a purchasing denominator. It does not change the net requirement of the measured task. Method basis: All quotes must refer to equivalent usable products and the same quantity basis. Enter delivery and tax-inclusive pack prices consistently; no supplier data is fetched.
The focus is quantity per pack in the first repeated measured entry. Other repeated entries keep their own supplied values.
Evaluate your supplied alternatives
Start with your measured plan and selected product data. The initial values and range are illustrative. Each scenario changes only quantity per pack in the first repeated entry; the other entered values stay fixed.
