Hi
Maybe I'm being a bit dim, but I can't get my site to price things using components. I sell wine, and have about 100 different wines by the bottle. I also sell mixed cases, which are themselves products simply composed of selections from the 100 basic wines.
To date I have not used components, and have just defined the mixed cases using text descriptions and a product price. However I now wish to start using the stock control capabilities of Catalog (probably more questions later!) so am looking at using components to define my mixed case products.
I may have misunderstood how this works (and someone please tell me if they think I have) but I thought that the price of the overall product would be automatically calculated as the sum of the components - yet I cannot make this work. On the "Product Details" tab one can enter a price, and then on the "Components" sub-tab there is a "Pricing model" drop down menu that seems to suggest that what I want to do is possible - yet whatever I select it just uses the data entered in the "Price" box on the "Product details" tab. All the components entered have their own prices.
Help!
