I want to disable QTY discounts for some of my customer category's. I have hid them already but when they get to the OrderVerify.asp screen the show the discount. I need to have the discount ignored for (i.e. session("customerCategory")=6).... any suggestions.

Hi,
I assume you have customized the code to hide the quantity discounts?
Hiding it will not prevent them being used in the calculations which woud involve additional customization. The easiest solution is to switch those customer categories to "Wholesale" and then not offer the quantity discount to wholesale customers. However, that also presents issues as you may already have Wholesale customers and the privileges for wholesale customers such as available payment methods are/can be different.

This is true I have 5 customers types. 2 of them I want to receive qty discounts. I just want to add an if statment such as (i.e. IF session("customerCategory")<>0 OR session("customerCategory")<>1 OR session("customerCategory")<>2.... )

Hi,
I suspect this will take at least a significant amount of research as both store front and admin code will (most likely) need to be checked and modified including, I suspect, SQL modifications. It's beyond the scope of what can be achieved via the forum, however, there are developers, contactable via the forum or via http://www.earlyimpact.com/partners-dev.asp - http://www.earlyimpact.com/partners-dev.asp if you wish to get this enhancement.
It looks like a useful enhancement for the future but I don't believe this is scheduled for inclusion in V4. I'll add it to the requests for consideration but I cannot give any idea of a likely date for it's inclusion in the software.

But couldnt it be suppressed to not execute the QTY discounts code within an if statement?

Possibly, but identifying exactly where is another matter entirely.
Researching this is not a trivial task. For example OrderVerify.asp alone is over 2,500 lines of code and there are other areas of the code that would need identifying and then checking to see what changes that need to be made. There are 43 files that have mention of discountsperquantity many of which will need no changes, but there are others which do not mention the DB field (such as OrderVerify) which will need changes as they use values read by other files.

PS - Don't be scared off completely by my last posting - it's far from impossible, it's just non-trivial.
