Some kitchen suppliers use Block calculation as a special discount system. The intention is to give you a special discount.

Access Block calculation via Menu option: Alternative > Block calculation (from the alternative window or the project level)

The Block calculation window provides all the information available for the catalogue selected for your Alternative:
