Magento

I have set up a configurable product based on 6 different single products. What I would like to happen is for the user to pick the size and color they want, then on checkout, it will pull up the the single product (with SKU) that they selected. Right now in the checkout process, it just displays the configurable product and its associated SKU.

We have to export orders into our financial software and it won’t be able to decipher which product the person wants by the configurable product SKU. It needs to show the exact single product SKU.

Any ideas?

Nevermind. I figured out that the SKU is recorded in the backend, it just does not show up in the customers cart, which is fine.

A few of us have been reporting this bug for a while.

We feel that the simple product SKU should be indicated in the invoice, packing slip, and order detail pages.  Customers will be confused if they order 3 different sizes or colors of a product and see the same SKU 3 times on the invoice, and the shipping department will have trouble finding the right product if the simple sku isn’t on the packing slip.

the single product sku from the configurable product doesn’t show with me. any suggestions???

I’m also having the problem of associated product sku not appearing in the shopping cart. Any ideas?

I NEED THIS FUNCTIONALLITY AS WELL!!!!

COME ON MAGENTO SERIOUSLY???

Try the below change in your checkout/cart/item/default.phtml template file

For calling SKU you can see below one in this file…

Change this to below

That works great for the sku… But how do I get the quantity of each child item in the cart? it appears the quantity is saved under the parent product.

If i use…

it returns 0 even though there are like 6 in my cart.

I can’t seem to find :  echo $_item->getSku(…

I can only find echo $_item->getId or <?php $_item = $this->getItem()?>

The file I’m looking at is app/design/frontend/default/my_template/template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml.
Is this correct?
thank you

The page you are looking is right one…
in default page there will not have $_item->getSku() , but you have to add it

Where exactly do I put this in the file?
Do I have to add
echo $_item->getSku()
if ($_options = $this->getOptionList()) {
echo $this->getChildProduct()->getSku();
}
else {
echo $_item->getSku();
}

I\’ve tried to add it on line 62 but I get nothing. see enclosed file

thanks

Take your app/design/frontend/default/my_theme/template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml file

Add below line of code where you wants to display the SKU

I think you missed php tag in your written code.. thats why it displays like your screenshot

<?php

Place your code here…

Thank you so much. I would need to show it in the admin as well so that i can pull out the ordr. Where would i put it?
I tried in the adminhtml/default/default/sales/order/view/items.phtml but it doesn’t work.

thanks

Normally in admin side order details.. product SKU will be there…

I tried, but when I try to put the code after sku, everything dissapears.
This how i put the code, but it doesn’t show the items nicely. It just adds all the individuals sku’s as duplicates above the box. I just like like to replace the config by the individual sku.

<?php $_items = $this->getItemsCollection() ?>
<?php $i=0;foreach ($_items as $_item):?>
<?php if ($_options = $this->getOptionList()){
echo $this->getChildProduct()->getSku();

}
else{
echo $_item->getSku();
}
?>
</br>
<?php if ($_item->getParentItem()) continue; else $i++;?>
<tbody class=”
<?php echo $i%2?'even':'odd' ?>">

<?php echo $this->getItemHtml($_item) ?>


</tbody>
<?php endforeach; ?>
