Virtual products (kits) not working as expected

Personally, I avoid virtual stock… I’m sure there is a setting for it to turn it off.

I use/understand this feature as…
Product A is a five piece cooking pot set sold as 1 set with a buying price and selling price and stock levels.
Product V/W/X/Y/Z are cooking pots in different sizes to make Product A. Each pot has a selling price and a buying indicator (not buying price as my business rule is that i cant buy it directly, it must come out of the set if i want to sell it separately so I use the cost price field just to give me an idea). Each pot has a stock level based on the number in the set.

So the above Im selling a 5 piece cooking set and buying it too. But each piece of the pot inside the set is sold seperately too with a selling price. When i buy the item, i only buy the set (Product A) and then i receive Product A and the associated products in the Kits section get updated stock levels based on how many of each are in the set.

I renamed ‘kits’ to ‘packages’ in my translation file as I sell products and the business sees a single product or a package of products/items to make a product/set. Each product or set is a dolibarr product.

I hope that makes sense or helps you a bit.
