Pack of Products - Quantity based on product quantities

[iipa]

How can I bind product pack quantity into quantities of products the pack has instead of manually setting the quantity available?

An example:

Product A - 8 available

Product B - 16 available

Product Pack - 4x product A, 2x product B

I want the product pack to automatically have 2 packs available, since there are no more product A to sell in a pack. And if someone buys 2 product A's individually, available pack quantity should decrease to 1.

There is a setting to decrease also product quantities when buying a pack, but how can I set pack availability to rely on product quantities?

Hello,

Did you ever find a good solution to this? I also need packs to automatically adjust inventory based on products that create the pack. Its been years and i have yet to find a good solid solution. I hope you have?

I found a module that does this, and since it was reasonably priced I decided to buy it instead of trying to do it myself. I also find it strange that this has not been implemented by default, since it is such a crucial part of stock management.

Thanks for the response, i have actually tried this module awhile back with 1.6 and found that it had some glitch, my store has many many packs. Is this module now automatic or do you still have to manually reset the inventory after every order still.

I have not yet tested in production, but it seems that it does things automatically!

Hello,

Is there a solution for this problem in the newer versions without an external module?

Sincerely,
