I have installed Dolibar for my company, as it is very flexible, and easy to use.
However I’m facing some problems to create product and its variants.
I have different products, like:
CONTACT LENS model X
CONTACT LENS model Y
CONTACT LENS model Z
Each model X, Y, Z have different powers (or diopters), because each contact lens should match the customer.
It is from +10 diopter to -10 diopter, with 0.25 incrementation. So for each model, I have more than 100 variants. So to create variant, it is very long for me, one one one.
I have 50 different models with 100 variants, so it is very long to implement.
AlsoI need to know my stock per model and variant, and my sale report should be only by model.
And my purchase order or invoice should be per model, with an associated packing list explaining in detail the variant.
Do you have any solution to implement easily all my products.
I wish I had an answer for you, but I have the same problem. I sell promotional products, and most of the products I sell are completely custom, where the customer can select a base product, then add options to make it custom. Some products have lots of options, and some options are only available for certain products.
It would be ideal to be able to assign certain variants (options) to certain products, without needing to create a totally separate child product for each combination, and instead like you’ve stated, just have the base product with a listing of the variants (options) that were selected for that base product. When entering a proposal or an order, it would be very time saving to be able to select the base product, then have a way to have a window pop up with available variants for that base product, and then be able to select only the variants you want from the ones available for that product. It can be done on our website, but not in Dolibarr.
If you find a developer willing to create a module for this, please let me know!
In ver.13.0.3 you can find Propagate Variant button. So you only need to type in model X with all of its variant, then press Propagate Variant, enter model Y product ref, and you’ll have all model Y variants copied from model X. Do the same for model Z and so on.
Scratch that. I just tested it and it didn’t work as it should.
Copied variants didn’t go as variants under new model. They are listed as individual products.
I was also expecting to have the variant products appear with the reference of the parent plus my chosen separator character and then the variant reference but it is not working either. Gues it’s back to the old way of doing variants. Each one with its own reference. Don’t see the advantage of using the variant module at all.
