Description
Allocate supplied cost components using explicit payer flags; no Incoterms rule is selected or interpreted.
A logistics record separates ordered, reserved, dispatched, received, lost, and available quantities. It can also distinguish volume, mass, packaging, and cost bases. A balance or ratio checks supplied records and assumptions without verifying physical inventory, a contract, or safe loading.
Allocate supplied cost components using explicit payer flags; no Incoterms rule is selected or interpreted.
When to use this tool
Use Incoterm Cost Component Caller Allocation when you need the particular supplied count, loading-budget, timing, or cost term in a logistics record.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter amounts, buyerPays. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read buyerTotal, sellerTotal. Use the output convention below.
Partition aligned nonnegative amounts into buyerTotal and sellerTotal using buyerPays flags.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| amounts | Amounts | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| buyerPays | Supplied cost-allocation flags; no Incoterms rules are looked up. | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| buyerTotal | Buyer Total | Required. Finite number. |
| sellerTotal | Seller Total | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- All amounts need one currency and cost boundary. The flags are caller allocations, not an Incoterms lookup, contract interpretation, customs decision, or determination of risk transfer.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the original stock, shipment, measurement, and contract records before acting on a balance. A full packing, routing, procurement, or load assessment may require more than the returned term.
