Duplicate products in Multistore system and Stock managment


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a big problem with how PS handle new Products.

 

Even if I am in a specific shop, PS will duplicate the Product to all shops, disregarding if it is in the same shop Group or not. I find this being a mistake.

But what is worse, when editing the Product, it only get edited in the Active shop you choosed in the "Multistore configuration" - box. So, as example, if you decide to give a new name to the Product, You will sometimes see the old name, because sometimes BO will get data from wrong shop ID (Product ID is the same all the time). Very confusing and annoying.

 

With 6 shops and 3 languages activated, Each new Product will create 18 new instances in the db. :(

 

Next thing, also bad, is stock managment.
 

I didnt put this post Before, because I knew Stock mangagment was under big update in 1.6, but now I tried stock managment in 1.6 too.

I added 15 pcs of one Product with a value of 1$ each. Guess what my stock is Worth? Yes, you are right, according to PS I have 90 pcs to a total value of 90$ (my guess is that PS Count 15 pcs / shop).

All shops share the same warehouse and some Products (not many) are sold in more than one shop.
Please advise me. Do I have any settings wrong?
Tnx
Anders

Hi again ;)
Is there a reason *not* to delete all the copies of a Product in the db directly, Products that belongs to shops where the Product is never going to be sold in?

Now I had an issue where Product name is changed in the original shop (only), but in stock managment PS is presenting the NAME from one of the other shops (dont know which, since all the other shops still have the old name), so it was impossible to recongnize the Product.
After deleting all Product rows in Product_lang of this ID_Product (from shops_ID´s where it is not supposed to belong), stock management present the only available NAME, which is the same as in the shop the Product originally is created in.

 

Question was: Is there and disadvantage or risk deleting all the "unnecassary" Product rows?

 

Tnx again for advice!

Anders
