What pricing method is applied according to the quantity included in the line item?

The pricing method that applies according to the quantity included in the line item is the one that assesses the price based specifically on the quantity of that individual line item in a transaction. This means that the price for each line in the order directly correlates to how many units are specified there, allowing for a pricing strategy that accommodates fluctuations based on quantities ordered.

This approach ensures consistency and transparency in the pricing structure, allowing for volume discounts or tiered pricing strategies that can incentivize purchasing larger quantities of a single item. For instance, if a customer buys ten units of a product and a different customer buys fifty units, each line item's pricing can reflect different discount tiers based on those respective quantities.

The other options reflect different pricing strategies that focus on overall parent quantities, overall item quantities, or pricing groups, which do not specifically apply to the quantity stated for each line item individually. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate pricing and inventory management in an ERP system like NetSuite.
