Independent variant and stock

I would like to create a product with 2 characteristics:

• Each characteristic has 20 or more variants
• customer can choose 2 characteristics independently
• each variant has its own stock qty that will be deducted if customer choose this variant (characteristic a) regardless what customer choose in characteristic b

Is it possible to achieve this??

My current hikashop, creates eWvery possible combination of 2 characteristics, and i have to assign qty to each combination, which is not a good practice because i have to divide each variant stock to every possible combinations,, and some stocks are less than total variants.. Messy

Hi,

I think that in each case, if you want your variants stock to be independents, you'll have to set a quantity for each variants, but you can do it through a CSV file if you want to do it quikly, so you'll just have to :
- Export your products through a CSV file
- Edit this CSV file
- Import it.

Hope this will help you a little.

Hmm you are missing the point here, big one..

For example:

Char X has choices: a, b, c, d, e
Char Y has choices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
I create a product that has char X and char Y, both in one product..

What hikashop does: auto create product variants: a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, b1, b2, ... so on
With this type of method, i have to divide qty of a into all posible combinations, qty of b into all posible combinitions, ... And so on until qty of 6.. I DO NOT want this

What i want is hikashop leave a as a, b as b, c as c, and so on till 6.. So when customer create an order (for example) consisiting of char X: c, char Y: 5,, hikashop will deduct qty of C and qty of 5 independtly as different entitiy,, not as a single product as above (c5)..

Do you see the point here?? If yes, is it possible?? If not, please state your confusion =)

Ok,

I finally understood what you wanted to do, I don't think that this is possible without some code devloppment, but you can for example create 2 products with one characteristic then each characteristics will have an independent stock.

Aiight.. Thanks for prompt response
