Quantity and Amount?
Hi,
I'm confused about something that I'm sure, it's simple.
While I'm creating a sales order, using "quick lookup" - the table shows me
the name of the product - a field named "quantity" and another field named
"amount". Which is the difference between them?
.../ordermgr/control/LookupBulkAddProducts?productId=
thanks

Actually I must say the UI is confusing. It would not be too hard to improve it: ie makes the amout field disabled if the product
does not have "require amout" set (Product.requireAmount field = "Y")
You could create a Jira for that, else I will do
As always, help appreciated...

Sorry Ravindra,
But you are confusing 2 things, and related fields in Product Entity:
Product.quantityIncluded
and
Product.fixedAmount
IN OFBiz OOTB, quantityIncluded is used for bundles like you describe. When fixedAmount is used for financials or by and large
products which require an Unit of Measure (see Product.amountUomTypeId), not a quantity.
There is a good explanation there http://markmail.org/message/tvyghkw7rgq5bmqi
So in this case you don't need to enter an amout. The quantity with the product price is enough to get the behaviour you describe.
Alo you may notice that the DB field type is currency-amount. Its description is BTW <<Ue this for products which are sold in fixed
denominations, such as gift certificates or calling cards.>>
For code details, follow the called request, you will end at ShoppingCartHelper.addToCart(), exactly ShoppingCartHelper[192] in

Hi Vanessa ,
For understanding purpose let consider you want to buy 5 pens , so 5 is the
quantity while if each pen has a price of 10 Rs then its amount will be
10*5 Rs.

Quantity: to choose the number of product to order
Amount: to possibly fix an amount value for specific products like gift cards
See https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProduct?productId=GC-001
Amout, Require Amount, Require the customer to enter an amount.
