What is the difference between the standard Mouser and the "MouseReel only" configuration?
The standard Mouser configuration will pull prices for all standard packaging types (such as Tape and Reel, Tray, Tube, etc...)
If you would like to be able to also pull the customized MouseReel package type, please set up a second Mouser supplier entry to be specific for MouseReel only quotes. When you setup up a 'MouseReel only' Supplier Connect entry, it will only pull the customized MouseReel package type quotes and prices. Since MouseReel package types incur a $7 fee, each price found will have that amount applied in an amortized fashion.
For example; if a MouseReel is being quoted at $0.500 per unit for 1,250 units, then you would see a price presented as $0.5056 (because the $7 fee is being spread across 1,250 units).
Supplyframe recommends starting with the standard Mouser Supplier Connect setup and then adding MouseReel support as needed.
