    help question Part box / unit stock line setup

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to setup some stock lines so that I can offer pricing for 'part box' quantities & then multiple boxes only. I'm probably missing something obvious somewhere but can't seem to get this to work at all.

    I've tried the 'Config>Stock>Decimal Places' setting to '2' allowing say a quarter of a box (unit) but the cart always errors wanting full unit multiples. E.G.

    Code:
    Stock configs:
    Products Quantity Box Shows:  	  Yes
    Product Qty Minimum: 	 12
    Product Qty Maximum: 	   0 = Unlimited, 1 = No Qty Boxes
    Product Qty Units: 	         48
    Product Qty Min/Unit Mix: No
    With these settings I'd expect to be able to buy either 12, 24, 36 widgets, then 48, 96, 144 etc. but not 60 widgets. Price-quantity details are present in 'Product Price Manager' for 1-47 widgets, 48-96 etc.

    My Zencart is current with all security patches applied:
    Zen Cart 1.3.8a, Patch: 1::
    Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
    v1.3.8 [ date ] (Fresh Installation)

    I am misunderstanding these settings?
    Any pointers appreciated, thanks.

    You have the min set to 12 not 0.25
    Actually if a box is 12 your min should be 3
    Or if you want 12 to be the min and then a increment of 3 allowed

    Make the min 12 and the units 3

    Hi,
    The unit for this particular example is 48, so, if I understand this correctly, the min should be 12. If I change the min to 0.25 then the cart correctly calculates 0.25*48x£1=£12 but still errors:
    Code:
    Quantity Units errors -
    You ordered a total of: 12 Min:  0.25 Units:  48
    Same result for 12 min, unit 48.

    What I'm trying to achieve is for 12, 24 or 36 widgets to be placed in the cart at one price, then a reducing price for box/unit quantities only from that point but no further multiples of 12 i.e. 60 widgets.

    It seems to have a problem with a fraction of a unit for some reason. I find the same behavior on a 1.3.7 installation on a different server.

    Rgds,

    Why is the unit 48 if you will sell 12??

    Simply because the items are boxed in 48's (for this stock line) & most, but not all, customers buy box quantities. I'm trying to include those who only require a few items, not a full box & who are prepared to pay a price premium to do so. I'd rather not split boxes at all but I don't wish to alienate a customer just because they want a 4 pack of pop instead of a case of 24 for example :)

    Make sense :)

    Then do not set the unit to 48

    Set up with an attribute your min qty lot and then the box/case qty also as a attribute
