\"Ordering<\/a>When determining order costs for the calculation of economic order lot sizes, the concept of order costs must be interpreted more comprehensively. In this case, order costs are to be understood as all costs incurred from the preparation of the order to the availability of an order lot in the warehouse. These comprehensive ordering costs can also include transportation, incoming goods and quality inspection costs.<\/p>\n

Statements relating to the full costs of an order (fixed + variable costs) should be treated with great caution. Statements such as “Each order costs \u20ac50” simply mean that the annual costs of the purchasing cost center divided by the number of orders in a year result in a value of \u20ac50 per order. They do not represent a statement on the marginal costs of a single additional order, but are often understood as such in practice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
