Hi, Please be gentle with me, this is my first post in a forum
We have recently had a new website built and I am still learning.
Here is my problem, hope someone can help:
We sell childrens party supplies and one of our most popular products are party packs. This is classed as one product, but it is made up of 8 different components, none of which are changeable by the customer.
When the customer opts to buy this I need the components within the product to be reduced by a specific quantity.
Heres an example:
A bob the Builder party pack for 8 children has a product code TW22 and it is made up of 8 other products, each with their own code so that they can be bought singly, i.e cups, plates, tablecover, napkins, party bags, banner, balloons and confetti. it is these that need the stock monitoring, not the party pack itself.
Just to make thing a little more complex the customer can choose if they want a party pack for 8, 16 or 24 children, which is where I have used a component linked to the product with an attribute and choices linked to the component.
At present I have it set up as follows:
Party pack product with extended info, this has a component which in turn has an attribute and choices 1, 2, and 3.
The component has permutations linked to hidden product TW22-8 (party pack for 8) TW22-16 (party pack for 16) and TW22-24 (party pack for 24).
These hidden products have 8 components each pointing to an associated product (cup, napkin, plate ect.).
The problem is that when a customer buys a party pack, say for 8, the stock is decreased by 1 on the hidden product (TW22-8) but the associated components are not decreased at all (cup, plate, napkin ect.).
I'm sorry if this is all as clear as mud, it is hard to explain, let alone to type it all out
here is a link to one of our party packs (if I have done it properly) so you can see some of what I have tried to explain.

Hope some one can help as at present I am having to adjust stocks manually every time an order for a party pack comes in.
Regards,
Caroline
