Paul:
I have been working for the past few months to build a custom solution
for this type of product. I have it working but not yet in production.
If you would like to discuss this solution please contact me at

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
