I believe I have understood my problem more fully. Though I'm not sure what happened with my configurations, my other problems stemmed from the way I'm using configurable products and the differences between how they can be used in the release and trunk versions.
I am currently using OFBiz for an in-house inventory management system, so the end users are technicians requesting parts through the ecommerce site. Because of this, shipping and payment and such are only a single option and not worried about too much. One of the other major requirements is for the technician to fill out the equipment or location where the spare part will be used, previously I have been using configurable items for all of my inventory (even though they are technically finished products) and having the technician select the "configuration" as locations or equipment pieces. For the release version this works fine (somewhat) and allows me to at least keep track of inventory and reorder when necessary etc.
The trunk version on the other hand seems to handle configurable products similar to products with selectable features. In other words the configurable product is more or less a virtual product that once the configuration is selected generates a new product (if one doesn't already exist) that contains all of those configurations. This presents a problem for my work flow in that the pieces are kept track of in inventory (locations and equipment) instead of the actual parts.
I know my situation isn't the most standard use of this, but does anyone have any ideas that would be better for this workflow?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a few problems migrating from the release version to the trunk version. I've exported everything to XML and then batch imported it by directory, and after a little work I can get everything imported.
The first problem I had was my configurations didn't stick properly, so I updated them manually. But now when orders are filled instead of using the proper item number it generates a new one. It looks like when things are imported they are there...but somehow not. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it.
Any ideas or tips?
Thanks!
