Quantity break
In Arabic شريحة الكمية
A quantity break is a point on a price list at which the unit price drops because the customer buys at least a set quantity of the item.
In plain words
Quantity breaks reward bigger orders without a separate discount. A price list might charge 9.00 a carton from one carton, 8.40 from 50 and 7.90 from 100. Each step is a break, and the customer sees exactly what ordering more would save.
In the usual method the whole line takes the price of the highest break it reaches: 64 cartons are all priced at 8.40, not the first 49 at 9.00. Some sellers use incremental tiers instead, but customers find those harder to check.
The common mistake is setting breaks in one unit and selling in another. A break at 50 pieces is reached far sooner than one at 50 cartons, so a list built for cartons gives away margin the moment someone orders by the piece.
