I'm trying to figure out how to have the characteristic "Quantity" (3 lbs, 2 lbs, etc) remove a designated quantity (3, 2, etc) from the main product quantity. How do I set up the characteristics and product so that each characteristic can subtract its respective quantity? For example: if we sell apples in a 2 lb, 3 lb and 5 lb bag only, I believe we have to designate those amounts as a characteristic unless there is way to specify that a customer can only purchase specified amounts (1, 4 and 6+ are not allowable quantities). Product: Apples Characteristic "Quantity": (3 lbs, 2 lbs, etc.) If a customer buys 3 lbs of apples, the system subtracts quantity 3 from the product, if a customer buys 2 lbs of apples, the system subtracts quantity 2 from the product, etc. Thank again for your help.
