Searched the forums and found people asking about minimum order issues, but nothing quite like the issue we have.....
Our store has three different vendors...it is setup to notify them of only their products that are ordered in order for them to deliver them. For example, if I have Company A, B and C and A has a product 1000, and B has 1001 and C has 1002, and someone orders one of each....then company A is emailed the order for 1000 and doesn't see the other portions of the order as they are sent to B and C, etc.
Well, Company A has a required minimum order of $75.00 and it applies only to his products as B and C have no minimum at this time.
Is there some way to set a unique minimum order solution for Company A using a module? Like I have said, I have seen nothing like this in other discussions and looked at several of the module makers websites and they seem to have nothing as well? Any suggestions?
I realize I can make a minimum order for the entire order, but can it be done by vendor? Doing it for the entire order doesn't work if $74.00 stuff ordered from Company A and $2.00 ordered from Company B, a module configured for the total order would go ahead and run through, but A would still not have his minimum met...
I know it is a pain, but this is because of different vendors....again, I appreciate any suggestions.

Do the product codes for the different vendors have something unique so they can be summed? For example A product codes all have SONY in them. B product codes have RCA in them. C product codes have TOSHIBA in them. If that is the case, you could use the Emporium Plus Tool Kit to sum the items belonging to A and if it did not make $75, make a nice "sorry" message and stop the display of the rest of the checkout page.

The email part is easy. You can use the Mail Manager to send vendor/drop shipper emails with only their items in the email.
