Magento

I have performed a fresh install of v1.7.0.2 and began to setup several new sites on the new code base. I can create simple products with no issues but when I attempt to create any configurable products they all show as Out of stock despite the simple products associated to them haveing inventory levels of 1 and above and marked as in stock,

I have several non v1.7 working installations of Magento so I know how to configure it and setup products but this has me beat..

The Attribute I created appears as a dropdown list (its a dress size value XS to XL), I noticed that when I do a quick create, none of the products appear in the grid search part of the “Super Product Attribute configuration”, so I think Magento is not linking the simple products back to the parent and hence the out of stock appears to be the parent not the children.

Any one else experiencing this and have a solution?

Hello,

I understand that you are familiar with the process, however, I advise you to check all the settings step-by-step once again -

Also here is one more article that describes what should be checked in order for the product to be visible -

To make sure that this issue is not connected with database, you can try to add product using any 3-party tool. I offer you Store Manager for Magento, as it works directly with database. You can test 2-weeks version of the application using the link in my signature.

No disrespect intended but I don’t want to buy a product for functionality that worked in previous versions.

Hey @Sid,

1. Do you have Inventory > Manage Stock set to “Yes” in the configurable?
2. Got any exceptions logging?
3. Where is the Super Product Attribute configuration grid that you mentioned?  I’m not seeing it in the configurable’s child simple product manage page.
4. What do you have in System > Config > Catalog > Inventory > Qty for Item’s Status to Become Out of Stock

There are some changes to how 1.7 handles minimum stock levels, but it sounds like you’re not even dealing with that.

having exactly the same problem

when create the attribute

apply to :select “simple product” and “configurable product”

not only configurable product
