The range unit specifies which row in the price sheet to use. So if the range unit is the number of sheets in the job, you set quantity-based pricing based on the number of sheets.
The price in the range unit row is then multiplied by the value for the billing unit. So if the billing unit is copies (i.e., of the job), then the price (say $1.50) is multiplied by the number of sheets in the job (e.g., range unit is sheets single copy) to give the price of this component ($1.50 x 20 = $30.00).
Range Unit value x Billing Unit value
+
Setup Price value
=
Price for the component
Example 1: If a buyer orders 25 copies of a 32-page blue coil-bound document, the price is: (25 x 1.50) + 3.00 = $40.50.
Example 2: If a buyer orders 25 copies of a 64-page blue coil-bound document, the price is: (25 x 1.60) + 3.50 = $43.50.
Consult the table below when configuring billing and range units. Disregard billing and range units when pricing pre-priced products because the billing and range units are already set for pre-priced products.
All priceable units are measured at the item level because the pricing computation calculates an estimate by adding items individually. The billing units and range units for pre-priced products are always based on the number of copies requested by the buyer.
