MOTM

I'm just curious if anybody uses the project manager to keep track of ordering for individual 
projects and whether or not they combine and give discounts if you order say, two separate 
projects and each project has 5 of the same part, when you check out, do they automatically 
combine them and give you the 10 piece discount(assuming that particular piece gets a 10 
piece discount)?

I haven't tried combining two projects in one order, but I have put a  
project
in an order and then added to it.  Basically, when you order a  
project, it
just dumps everything listed in the project in your shopping cart.   
So it
should give you the discount if you reach the threshold.

the only problem i had with it was that it would enforce minimum 
quantities even at the project level. so say project 1 and 2 together 
put me over the minimum for a part, the site wouldn't let me order 
either unless one of them alone was over the minimum.

is this fixed now?

Their BOM import tool is -almost- this. You can't upload a project  
file, but you can just cut 'n' paste the part # with the quantity  
after it as a big long list, and it converts it to their shopping  
cart. Similar functionality. Worked well for me.
