Hi Stephen:
The ProductAttribute would be an easy way to do this. I was thinking
that you could use an Agreement to hold information about minimum
quantities, quantity multiples and all the "terms" of purchase per
product and then validate against the Agreement similar to validating
against the ProductAttribute. Agreements give you lots more flexibility
in setting up the validation. The downside is that you involve more
Entities in the mix and things could get more complicated. I suppose it
all depends on how flexible you want to make the validations.
Regards,
Ruth

I do not think I want bundling.
I was thinking I could add a ProductAttribute association
key:quantityMultiple, value: 5 for the products that are supposed to
be bought in 5's. Then do a simple validation (quantity modulus
quantityMultiple) == 0.
ex.
10 mod 5 == 0 - no message
11 mod 5 == 1 - product must be bought in multiples of 5

Maybe I misunderstood, but it looks like Stephen didn't necessarily
want to offer it in bundles of 5, but rather as a single item
requiring that the user enters quantities in multiples of 5. If I
misunderstood, sorry. Bundling, I agree, is the way to go in that case.

The easiest way is to create a product that represents five of the
items (Product.quantityIncluded=5), and then each unit they order
will mean 5 actual items fulfilled. That packaging can be done
implicitly, or you could even use one of the Marketing Package
product types and then associated this package product with the
main/single product using a quantity of 5 on the ProductAssoc.
If you want something where the user can only enter multiples of
five otherwise they get an error, I think at this point you'd have
to write some custom code (and a good error message).

I want a product ABC-001 to only be able to be bought when a
quantity of 5, 10, or 15 ... is specified . Otherwise I want to
show an error.

Hi Stephen:
Do you want to display one price for each product or a single
price for all 5 products?

I would like to setup product data such that certain products can
only be bought is quantities of 5. How would I setup that data?
