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
