Hi
We are selling refurbished computers. Which we currently track by a unique number (barcode) which allocate to every item refurbished. We use a database to keep track of stock in and out which as has the machines specification.
The problem I am having with Actinic is how to setup a Main Product (section/sub-section/sub-section/"model+processor type") to link to all the different variation we currently have in stock ie Compaq D51 P4 with 1.8GHz,256MB,20GB,CD,Qty=1 ; 2GHz,256MB,30GB,DVD,Qty=1 ; 2GHz,512MB,20GB,DVD,Qty=2 . I could give each computer it's own Product Entry (Product Reference=our unique number), but that would make the shop very confusing(messy) with loads of similar and/or same items for sale.
I have tried links with Main Product using Permutations =component/attributes/choices. Linking hidden products into the choices of the component permutation table. But this doesn't give any stock control, even when main product and/or hidden products have stock monitoring on is there a way arounf this
The only solution I can now think of is to set each Main Product with a hand coded list table using short description(links to hidden product) and add to cart button. But this could be very time consuming to maintain. (will need hand coding for each product).
Also on a similar line, if a product has more than one item in stock. Is it possible to assign each Product stock item a unique number? I tried a new Variable for Products by that only assigns one number per Product, not per Product items in stock.
Cheers
