2.26. Total price drop on increased quantities?

As I increase the quantities of screen printed garments (3 tier pricing method), the total price drops, not just the price per piece.

This is one instance where the financial analysis report is very helpful. The answer is in quantity discounts. On each line item you have the quantity discount box checked. You have a price break at 26 units in your configuration.

Hence, the first line item has no quantity discount because the quantity is 20 shirts and that falls below your pricebreak point. The subsequent line items each have a progressively larger quantity discount causing the total price to go down slightly even though you enter a larger quantity of shirts. You can print the financial analysis to see this in detail.

Try doing the quote again with no quantity discount checked and you will see the normal software operation of higher quantity = higher total
