Morning Community Folk!
After going round the houses on this, looking at components, attributes, permutations and searching the forum, I think I've just confused myself to the point where I can't see the wood for the trees any more - does anybody know if this is possible?
I've got 4 products, a finite number of each as a one off - each product is sold individually, but I'd also like to offer them in a money saving kit format, but I need stock control to work both ways to make this effective - I could just manage the stock level manually on the kit, but where would be the fun in that
If I can get this to work, it would have longer term benefits as I could repeat it on other products.
The kit product would be presented to the customer just like any normal product, so it's what's going on behind the scenes that I need to get my head round.
So if a customer orders product A only, stock level on that product goes down 1 as normal, but stock level on the kit would also go down by 1.
If a customer orders the kit, the stock level on the kit would go down by 1, but also on the 4 individual products that make up the kit.
If the stock level of any of the individual products hits zero, the kit is no longer available.
I hope I've explained that OK - is this possible do you think?
TIA - Helen
