Managing Configurable Product Stock
By default, Manage Stock is turned off for a configurable product, because the inventory is managed through each associated product. However, at times it may be necessary to apply inventory settings to a configurable product as a whole, such as to set quantity increments and change the stock availability.
To enable quantity increments:
1. | On the Inventory tab of the configurable product, clear the Use Config Settings checkbox, and set Manage Stock to “Yes.” The Enable Qty Increments field appears. |
2. | To sell the product in quantity increments, do the following: |
a. | Below the Enable Qty Increments field, clear the Use Config Settings checkbox. Then, set Enable Qty Increments to “Yes.” |
b. | In the Qty Increments field, enter the number of products that you want to sell together as a single batch. |
To set product as “Out of Stock:”
1. | On the Inventory tab of the configurable product, clear the Use Config Settings checkbox, and set Manage Stock to “Yes.” The Stock Availability field appears. |
2. | To temporarily remove the product from sale, set Stock Availability to “Out of Stock.” |
3. | When you are ready to offer the product for sale, set Stock Availability to “In Stock.” |
