SeparateItems

Allow multiple lines on the order form for each item code.

Synopsis

This is a Yes or No directive.  The default is No.

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the local (catalog.cfg) configuration file.  It will not affect any other website in any way.  This directive will not work in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file. 

Description

This directive changes the default, when ordering an item, to allowing multiple lines on the order form for each item code.  The false default, puts all orders with the same part number on the same line, with an appropriate quantity value.

Setting SeparateItems true allows the item attributes to be easily set for different instances of the same part number.  This would allow easy setting of attributes such as size and colour etc.

This directive's value can be overridden with the use of the mv_separate_items value in an order <form>, and/or the use of the mv_separate_items scratchpad variable.
