'Can I use SVD with implicit feedback?

Can I use Single Value Decomposition (SVD) with implicit feedback? What I have is historical purchase data (user-ID, item-ID, timestamp, quantity).

Surprise library says it not possible, but I have read studies where they have used it. What is your thoughts?
