As an alternative to Single, do you find it useful to use the "Currency"
data type?

This will allow you to record how many items of a particular kind
there were in one particular donation. I first thought to use Integer
for the data type, but what if someone donated $12.50? Maybe your item
is "money", and your quantity is 12.5.

Tom.
At the end of the forth paragraph, you mention"quantity single required".
I
have to ask, what do you mean?
