Minimum order quantities

Using my Dolibarr
1

I searched on the forum but can’t find this issue, so I’m asking it here.

Is there any way to work with minimum order quantities?

We have the following scenario:
We buy boxes with 10 pcs from item A from our supplier (so 10pcs is the minimum order quantity)
We sell item A per piece to our customers

Is there any way to do this? Or is this functionality planned for future versions?

Thanks!

This is already availbale.
When you enter a produt when module product is activated, on “supplier price” tab of product, you define price and minimum quantity for this price. This is used when add a price to your supplier invoice.
When you sell, you can sell with quantity of your choice.

Thank you for the response, wow, I must have been blind… can’t see how I’ve missed that! Apologies for the “stupid” question.

One more question on this subject though; it looks like if you can use them for offset pricing as well, e.g. the following pricing scheme:
>10 pcs $10/pc
>50 pcs $5/pc
>100pcs $1/pc

If I put in these minimum quantities and corresponding price, and I subsequently create a supplier order, these 3 prices show up in the AJAX dropdown as if it were three different products. Wouldn’t it be more convenient when it would auto-select the right price according to the quantity given (e.g. if quantity is 50 in above example, price would become $1/pc)? Now you can pick the $10/pc price and order 50 anyway without warning, something that could be easily overlooked by the average employee?

Or shouldn’t this function be used for offset pricing?

Thanks!

Dolibarr policy is to keep being “opened”, so we keep all prices to allow user to choose one of it choice. Autoselect and blocking other lines is technically possible, but this will probably limit usage for some users.
To work with as many user as possible, we prefer letting user make the choice (even if in most cases computer can guess it).
