Case pack math: units, boxes, cases and pallets without the spreadsheet

How to define inner packs, master cases and pallet tiers so retailers order the way they actually buy.

Most wholesale price sheets describe the same product three ways: each, case and pallet. Retailers reorder in cases; distributors move pallets. If your catalog only knows about units, every order needs a phone call.

Define the inner pack (units per box), the master case (boxes per case) and the pallet (cases per layer times layers). Price each tier from a per-unit cost and a tier discount, and publish all three.

The Case Pack Calculator on this site does the arithmetic; Smart Store stores the tiers as fields on the SKU so buyers pick the tier that matches how they buy.
