THE REFERENCE SHELF
Price & length
Compare cost per roll and cost per declared length
A cheaper roll can contain less paper. Keep the roll count and declared length together when calculating the purchase cost.
A delivered cost can differ from a headline case price
Compare the obtainable delivered order. A listing price without freight or shipping eligibility is not a completed purchasing quote.
Declared length and physical fit answer different questions
A roll can meet a diameter limit and still have a different declared length from another roll. Use both fields for their own jobs.
Turn your stock assumptions into whole purchase units
Calculate an order in the purchase unit actually sold. A whole-case result can leave extra rolls even when the arithmetic shortage is smaller.
