The maximum quantity field in inventory control
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 6:00 pm
Under inventory control there is a max quantity field to limit "the maximum quantity of this product that can be purchased for an order".
For my products I use a custom customer template to get customer inputs. However, they can still order more than the allowable limit if they enter different information into the custom fields.
For example:
Sku=DVD-0 (max limit is 5)
but the customer can order:
Sku=DVD-0 field1=abc quantity=4
and
Sku=DVD-0 field1=xyz quantity=4
Total DVD-0 for the order is 8 which exceeds max quantity (the total allowable) for that product of 5.
I believe you can track the variants but since this is a template custom field, it somehow doesn't track.
I tried this with the personalized gift certificate in the original Able product sample. I enabled the max quantity to be 5 but I was able to order 8 from the basket on the same order.
Can someone confirm. And why would the max quantity care about the custom template fields? It still should be a product and technically not a variant by definition.
Thanks,
Bruce.
