Proposal For Check the Possibilities for Box Quantity (Order Quantities in lots)

JIRA : THRD-364

Proposal Summary 

This proposal covers the possibility for box quantity.                            

Requirement 

The requirement is to add an option to purchase a definite quantity for the item. 

The quantity should the multiple of the box quantity. 

For example: if the box quantity of the item is 2 then the item will be purchase as 2,4 ,6 etc 

Our Solution 

 
Solution 1 

• We can create a new custom field in NetSuite Item record, where we will set the box quantity. 
   
• If value is entered in that field, then we consider that item for box quantity.  
   
• We are considering single box quantity for each item. 
   
• In the Webstore, after selecting the quantity, when we click on add to cart button, we will check the box quantity field value in the item record and also if the inputted quantity is a multiple of the box quantity. 
   
• If the quantity is a multiple of the box quantity, then we will allow the customer for checkout. Otherwise, we will prevent the add to cart action and show a message like “select a quantity which is a multiple of x”. 
   
   

 
Solution 2 

• If the NetSuite item record is configured in the unit type and it defines pack sizes for required item, then we can add a new field for box quantity in the webstore using an extension. 
   
   
• Box quantity should be available in item record. 
   
• From the item record we will take these values (units of quantity) and show it in the webstore corresponding to each item. 
   
• Depending on the box quantity we have selected, the quantity will be multiplied. 
  ie; if we selected box quantity as 12, then item will be purchased as 12, 24, 36 etc. When a customer orders the items it will be 2 quantity of package items. Each package will include the defined number of items. 
   

• The price will be multiplied based on the box quantity. 
• The cart will show different pack size as different items in the cart, checkout, and order. 

Doubts 

• Do all the items require box quantity feature? 

• Could you please confirm whether each item is having a single box quantity?  Do we consider about multiple box quantity options. For example, add item as multiple of 2 as well 3. 

Assumptions 

The box quantity should be available on the item record. 

The box quantity will be implemented in PLP, PDP, quick view, my account reorder items, Wishlist edit and cart page.
