using a Configurable Product with a sale order

[nico61]

Hi,
I tried to insert an order concerning the configurable Product example, PC001.
I joined PC001 and its components to a warehouse and a main supplier.
I also populated my warehouse with purchase order only for PC components (RAM, HD, ..)

Inventory:
PC001 = 0
RAM= 10
HD2GB = 10
HD4GB=10
ETHERNET = 10
MODEM = 10

Because it's not necessary to create any BOM for configurable goods,
I executed a sale order configuring the interested components and waiting
the production run creation.

But I received the following error " :
"Sorry, we do not have enough (you tried 1) of the product Configurable PC (product ID: PC001)
in stock, not adding to cart. Please try a lower quantity, try again later, or call customer
service for more information".

Any suggestion?

Hi Nico,

you have to adjust product store and product parameters.
Any of these should solve your problem :

productStore.checkInventory = "N"


OR

product.requireInventory ="N"

OR

product.requireInventory =""
productStore.requireInventory ="N"

Bilgin:
would not that defeat the purpose of doing a production run.
if no inventory is required how do you biuld the configured item?
and to address the error, why can't the production run see the inventory?

Hi,

I just aligned the following parameter as described in the demo site:

old productstore.requireInventory = "Y"
new productstore.requireInventory = "N"

and the problem has been solved. A production run has been correctly created,
the components have been decremented and a PC has been added to the inventory .

Have you an idea about the following occurred behaviour ?

… after the order approving, I selected the "Quick Ship Entire Order" functionality .......
and the system returned to me the following message:

The Following Errors Occurred:
ProductStore [10000] explodes order items; cannot use Quick Ship for Multiple Facilities
The following occurred:
The action was performed successfully.
Created shipment with ID [10287] for ship group ID [00001] for facility ID [10000]

BJ this is a good point.
The service that checks for required products, checks for configurable  
product itself (PC001) but not its components. That's why when store  
requires inventory it is not possible to order configurable  
products... Seems that this should be changed. Any other opinions?

Nico,

I did a fix for "Quick Ship Entire Order" in rev 678206.
You can update and try again. The above error message says that you  
have ProductStore .explodeOrderItems = "Y" and that's why  cannot use  
Quick Ship option.

BTW I see that you have created a new product store [10000] and if  
there are any store attributes that you are not familiar with, better  
use for them existing demos store values. This way you will get less  
configuration errors.

see

Maybe
 productstore.requireInventory = "N"
product.requireInventory ="Y"
would allow the order but force the Production run to require inventory.

modify the current code to include looking if this a configured product
and let it pass the order entry phase.
probably have to add a status in ordermgr for in production.

I don't think so. product.requireInventory is used only to override
productstore.requireInventory.
