For some more context: This site is a library for special education teachers to be able to check out software and hardware for their use in the classroom. Which means that the price for each item is zero since the site is loaning out items at no cost to the teachers. The hang up in this case is that there are three different ‘borrow levels’ for a teacher. The ‘borrow levels’ are: 1. You can check out any item. 2. You can check out any item up to a $500 value. If an item is above $500 you need approval from your school administrator before the order is approved. 3. You need approval from your school administrator to check out anything.
My question here pertains to users with a ‘borrow level’ of 2. Since the products all have a price of zero we added a custom field to the commerce product that has the replacement cost of an item. So, when an order is placed and the user is borrow level 2 I need to look at each item in that order and determine if the replacement cost is over $500. If nothing is over $500, then the order can be flagged as approved. If there’s one or more items that have a replacement cost of $500 or more we need to send an email to that teacher’s school administrator telling them they need to log in and approve or deny the request the teacher has made.
