A quote line is: name, pack quantity, price, discount percentage, shipping. The discount comes off the pack price, then shipping is added.
The cost for the quantity you need is rounded half up. The lowest one wins, not the cheapest pack on its own.
Options
- Discount and shipping can be zero. The limit is 8 quotes. The quantity and the pack quantity are whole numbers.
Limits
- Amounts use two decimal places and up to 12 digits before the decimal point. Rounding is half up.
- 1,250 is rejected. Write 1250 or 1250.50.
- From two to eight quotes. Each line has five fields.
