[Erp5-dev] how to use variations in products and sale supplies

[Bartek Gorny]

Hi

I need help - spend many hours trying to figure it out: how to
properly assign base categories to product and sales supply, so as to
be able to use variations?

When I create a product and a sale supply related to it, then "price
variation axes" boxes are empty. If I manually
setVariationBaseCategoryList on a product, then I can choose "price
variation axes" in both the product and its related sale supply, but
pricing matrixboxes do not show up, and the predicate subobjects are
not created. Whereas setting quantity step works as expected -
predicates are created and matrixboxes are in place.

Is it a bug, or is this feature turned off, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help
Bartek

If you want to use variations in the system, you have to:
- define the variations axes on the resource level, by using
setVariationBaseCategoryList on your product (example:
product.setVariationBaseCategoryList([colour]) )
- then, define the available variations on the resource level (example:
product.setSizeList(['blue', 'red'])
- finally, on sale supply line, the matrixbox will now display 'blue' and
'red' in its range if you select 'size' as a price variation axe.
