Summary	0003417: scale prices doesn't working correctly, with the variants of a article
Description	one article costs 3 € per unit. more than 5 articles costs 2€ per unit. if a aricle (we name it X) has variants and you put 4 units from variant1 in the basket, you pay 3€ for each unit. this is right. if you put 2 units from variant2 into the existing basket (amount of units is now 6 from the article X) we must have the scale price 2€ per unit. but this doesn't happening. the shop calculates for the article X 3 € per unit but we have all in all 6 units of it in the basket. of course, the units are from two different variants but from one article parent which has the scale price settings.

dainius.bigelis 2012-03-09 16:27 reporter ~0005937	Reminder sent to: michael_keiluweit Hi, We discussed in team about the case. The solutions are quite complex and would be more confusing. Also there is no unique position, that all variants should be calculated in Total amount. There are cases where variants should be treated as separate products for Scale prices. So we decided to not change the behavior at this place and leave it like it is. If you need different behavior - this is a good place for writing a custom module.
