How to create variant product in Ofbiz trunk

[Ofbiz 开发]

Hi everyone,

Could some one tell me how to create variant product in Ofbiz backend
please? Would the different variants be the same product ID or different
product ID? I can't seem to find any documentation about this. Thanks !!

Kind Regards

Hi
 For creating variants :
Create a Virtual Product which is to be associated with its variants, all
you need to set it as a Virtual Product is to set its isVirtual flag = Y.
Associate this to a category.
For creating say two variant products corresponding to the above Virtual
Product set their isVariant flag = Y. (These products will not be
associated to a Category).
Add features(say two features namely Color, Size) of the the variant
product under Features tab.
Associate these two products to the Virtual product under its Associations
tab with variant  "Association Type Id"= " Product Variant".
Associate the above two features to the Virtual Product as well,

The two variant products will have different product Ids. You can also
refer to DemoProduct.xml where the demo data setup has been done for both
virtual and variant products.

Regards

Hi Harsha,

Thank you very much.

However I am not creating a virtual product, I am creating a real product,
say a dress, and it has different colour and size, is that possible?

Or maybe our understanding of virtual product is different. My
understanding of a virtual product is something that is not tangible or has
unlimited stock, e.g. a MP3 song or a gift card, is this correct? What is
the concept of virtual product in Ofbiz please?

Thank you very much.

Kind Regards

Fong

Hi Fong,
                Creating a product  like dress with different color and
size is possible with Virtual-variant model, its can be like :

Virtual Product : Shirt
Variant 1 : Shirt-Red-Small
Variant 2 : Shirt- Yellow - Large

where the red, yellow, small & large are the product features that a
variant possesses.

Here a Shirt is not a Physical product in existence, doesn't have
inventory hence is Virtual, it is just a Parent to which variant product
are associated with, consider it as this case that anyone can't buy just a
shirt but will  buy a Small White Shirt or a Large Red shirt. So the
catalog can show a product (Virtual) as Shirt and give the buyer options
to chose and buy from it as Red-Small shirt or White-Large- Shirt.

Whereas the Digital goods are the electronic products which do not require
inventory. such as MP23 or downloadable music or gift cards,

Hope this clarifies.

Regards
Harsha
