Purchase Rules - Checking minimum quantities

Besides calculating rates, Shipping Director can enforce all types of purchase rules.  For example, If you want to enforce that if items are purchased from a specific category that there be at least n of them, then you want an Error expression that looks like "if there are Any items in category A and the Quantity of those items is less than n":

ErrorExit

Not Enough Items from A

Items.Any([@categoriesAnyA]) and Items.Where([@categoriesAnyA]).Sum(Quantity) < 2

 

 

 

"Not Enough Items from Category A"

You would need to repeat lines 20 & 30 for each category  

(The customer won't get warning until they get to shipping calc page, or estimate shipping)

NOTE:  As of Shipping Director 1.08 for 2.80, you don't need line 10, and line 20's Reference should be: ProductVariant.Product.HasCategory("Category A")  

NOTE: For Shipping Director for 3.10, you don't need line 10, and line 20's Reference should be: Product.HasCategory("Category A")
