Add more than one of the same item to cart

[dbeckner]

Is it possible to allow an item to be requested more than once by the same user in the same session? For instance: User wishes to order 10 laptops.

There is no way to add the same item to the cart multiple times.. Perhaps you could create a question named "quantity needed", and add this question to your catalog item?

Thanks @CharlesW. Any idea if this request has been added to an enhancement pipeline for future releases? I imagine other customers have similar requests.

You actually can request the same item for multiple users/devices, just not the same user/device.  To do this, you would place a request on behalf.  For a software catalog item, you'd have to search for or enter multiple unique devices.  For a general catalog item (sounds like your case for ordering laptops), you'd have to search for or enter multiple unique users.  I doubt we would ever change this behavior, since the product is intended for self-service, not large bulk ordering.
