    This module does exactly what it says, it will allow you to set a minimum or maximum quantity per product or store wide. Jeremy
    This is exactly what I was looking for. Richard

    Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single Miva Merchant order. You can also force multiples in a drop down quantity input.

    Single screen for setting rules. The module admin control panel permits the store owner to specify all products (as a wildcard) in a store to have the same quantity rules or apply individual and different quantity rules for each product code which will be restrained by order quantities. For ease of use, the individual product ranges are entered in a single admin input box rather than from tabs at the individual product edit screens. This allows the store owner to build the quantity rules in a word processor and simply copy and paste hundreds of codes into the input box quickly.

    Non-fatal quantity adjustment message. When the customer selects an out-of-range amount, the quantity is adjusted to fall within the permissable range and a non-fatal message is displayed telling the customer that the quantity was adjusted. The store owner can configure the text in the out-of-range message box or leave the box out of the store altogether by deleting the override message text in admin.

    Force multiples in a drop down. New in the compiled version is the ability to change the quantity input into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc upto the maximum. You can also make a non-equal interval, e.g. 1, 3, 7, 10. If you fill in the intervals rather than using a multiple, you can also give each interval amount a label to go with it, e.g. 3 for $9.00 or 3 @ $3.00 each. Using this technique you can also make an easier to understand quantity selection, e.g. 1 widget, 1 dozen widgets, and 1 case of widgets could be the labels that go with the hidden quantities of 1, 12 and 24 respectively. If you implement volume pricing with our Volume Pricing module, this makes a nice, compact way of displaying the volume prices rather than using the table format. Added token support for the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product templates.

    Price Group Restriction (Merchant version 5x only). Apply restrictions only to customers in specified price groups if they are logged in when adding to the basket. This forces them to buy specified minimums if they are going to get a price group discount. If you are using a 3rd party module which recalculates the basket price after logging in, then this feature won't prevent them from getting the lower price if they did not meet the minimum when they were not logged in.

    I have set quantity rules for one product in my test store. It is a limited quantity item so if more than one person is testing the functionality, the stock level may be depleted and prevent adequate testing. The product is product code 1S_00155 and the quantity is set to minimum of 2 and maximum of 18. Because the minimum is set to 2, you will see that the quantity input already has a 2 in it. If you change it to 1 and Add to Basket, you will see the override message and the quantity raised to 2.

    The module is MMUI and OpenUI compatible. When using the MMUI in 4x, two single line edits of the mmui.mv are necessary. In 5x, four edits are made on the applicable page templates.
