Hi,
I am chasing some guidance on the best approach to the following problem.
Background:
- client manufactures custom built office furniture
- I have set up virtual products with features and subsequently variant
products
e.g. Bookcase
1200mm high
600 wide
3 shelves
this is just one of the possible combinations i.e. a bookcase could
be 1800mm high
Each combination has a distinct price.
My scenario is as follows:
- I want to create a production run in the manufacturing sub-system so
the cabinet making team can build the product.
- I have created a basic configuration (one option) that I have
assigned to each variant product and subsequently assigned that
configuration item to a product (CUST_BOOKCASE) so it ends up getting a
production run but I am not sure this best or right way.
I can't use configurable products as its the combination of attributes
that make up the entire price of the product i.e. adding shelves does
not necessarily increase the price, but adding height alone or height
and width combined will.
For another day but Ideally, I would be able to configure a variant
product but after recent posts from me, it was determined that it could
not be done but there has been some interest from the community to
develop this. The main requirement from me for this is for example, a
bookcase could have "red shelves with white edging" or "white shelves
with red edging"
btw - I have been extremely grateful for the support this community has
already provided me and as my knowledge grows I look forward to helping
out more!
Regards,
Paul
