Why a row's price exceeds its level-2 breakdown
Learn how apportioned charges are folded invisibly into every row's price so a top-level row can exceed the sum of its visible second-level constituents.
Apportioned charges are organization-configured additional charges that are deliberately NOT shown as their own quotation line.
'absolute' charges are spread across rows in proportion to each row's price (weight = row price / total).
'percentage' charges add that percent of each row's own price.
The share is added to the row's total price AND its unit price after normal pricing completes.
A top-level row's price will be HIGHER than the sum of its visible second-level constituents whenever apportioned charges are configured — that gap is the apportioned share, not a calculation bug.
The charge list is copied from the organization's store settings only when a design is first created.
If two designs disagree, compare when each design was created against the store-settings history.
