Select the pricing basis used in the supplier's quote. Metre and foot pricing use total length; cubic-metre and board-foot pricing use actual volume; piece pricing uses count. The same entered numeric price has a different meaning under each basis. The displayed cost per metre and per piece help compare quotes without converting currencies.
