The calculation sequence indicator is used when multiple allowances and/or charges are applicable. If various allowances and/or charges percentages, quantities, monetary amount or rates are applicable to the same base price, then the calculation sequence indicator will always equal one. If the various allowances and/or charges are applied against a fluctuating price (constantly changing because of the application of other allowances and/or charges) then the sequence of calculation is indicated using this data element.
If the allowance or charge is not to be applied against a fixed price then the calculation sequence indicator must be included.

Segment Notes:
This segment is used to specify any allowances or charges for the current line item.
As the calculation price type (data element 5152 PRI segment) used in the purchase order response is always as net price, allowances and/or charges specified in the ALC segment group are only for information purposes.
