Morning!

If I set an item up as having sizes L/M/S using the optional fields how does this affect Inventory Control, or can't it be used with different sizes etc?

So if I have a stock of 10 T-shirts of 4 Large, 1 Small and 5 Medium is there any way within a single item to let the customer know what the stock levels are?

Thanks.

Hiya Chris,

Unfortunately, at this time (and not sure if the updates will or not either), the inventory setup will not recognize Optional Fields as a separate entity at all. It basically sees the main product as the full product and if you set up optional fields it will only deduct the inventory as a total from the main product.

In order to have good inventory control with this program, you will need to create a new product for each variation of a product.
