Magento

Hi all,

I was configuring a grouped product ‘C’ with products ‘A’ and ‘B’ grouped under it. I search for this product on front end and was happy to see A and B grouped together.

Now I go to the backend and update Product A as ‘Out of Stock’. I come back to the front end and search for the grouped product ‘C’ and observe that both products are displayed on the grouped product which is actually ok (It would be better to show the ‘Out of Stock’ product as disabled or ‘Out of Stock’).
Now currently I am a guest user and when I ‘Add to cart’, nothing gets added to the cart and it takes me to a continue shopping page. If I create a customer account and login, I am able to add the grouped product to my cart and now see that the ‘Out of Stock’ product is not added to the cart which is actually confusing to the user as nowhere in the flow do we mention that the second product is Out of Stock.

Has anyone else observed this?

Hi Srinigenie

To answer the first part of your question, it is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release. Inventory management will only be done on the simple product level.
And out of stock skus will either appear disabled in the grouped product info page, or return a message that that sku is out of stock. The items in stock will be added to the cart as it is working now.

The second part of your question I was unable to reproduce. Adding the cart works for me whether logged in or guest.
I hope this helps.
