linking option stock with each other?

I HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED BUT CANT FIND THE PROBLEM IM HAVING!

Hi guys,

i have a set of duplicate options for each of my products, but i can't figure out how to get them to subtrack

say someone buy product A with 1st option and that option is then used up aka out of stock

then product B will still show option 1 and the full stock, even though it is out of stock because someone bought product A and used all option 1 stock.

I thought because there all duplicate options they would subtrack from eachother........

any ideas? i may be missing something

thanks

If you are talking about subtracting from the total then just choose - when setting up the option in product details
You can choose + or -

well if you mean what i think you mean id rather not have to be subtracting stock every time i get an order...

say each option has 10 in stock then

say product a has an option blue and so does product b

someone buy product a in blue

the stock changes in product a but not in product b product a has 9 left product b has 10 left

and if it subtracted then it would be 9 & 9

see what i mean?

NO, I meant the (-) sign if you choose it deducts the option price from the MAIN PRICE.

Nope, the stock is only subtracking for the main product, not options.

I don't know of a way (without custom code) to do this. The options functionality seems to be designed around options on products (such as red shirt, blue shirt) not combinations of products.

ok thanks for the replies guys
