BEHIND THE NUMBER
How the calculation works
Both offers use the same required quantity and currency. Add all confirmed charges within one agreed delivery boundary, without double-counting freight already included in the price. The lower entered total is a cost comparison, not a supplier-quality or sourcing recommendation. Equal totals are reported as a tie.
Offer total = common quantity x unit price + freight + other charges; comparable unit cost = offer total / quantity
When this calculation helps
Compare the cost to receive the same usable quantity at the same destination. Bring freight, setup, and other entered charges into the same currency and scope as the supplier price.
Check the interpretation
A lower landed unit cost does not establish that a supplier is qualified, available, or low risk. Check lead time, quality, payment conditions, and quote validity separately. Do not allocate the same fixed shipment charge to each unit and then add it again.
Confirm quote validity, minimum orders, taxes, duties, Incoterms, quality, payment terms, capacity, and lead time separately. This tool neither applies exchange rates nor prices overbuying, financing, or supplier risk.

Good to know
Can I compare different order quantities?
Not here. Use prices valid for the same entered quantity. Quantity-discount analysis separately models the purchase, ordering, and holding cost tradeoff of different order sizes.
Does the lowest unit price always win?
No. Freight and other included charges can reverse the comparison. The result shows the total and effective cost per unit for both offers.
