    Default Tracking Inventory by Color ONLY or Size ONLY

    I notice there was a column in the products table that allows to track inventory by color only and not size (and vice versa). Is this still supported? I did not find it in the product edit page.

    I'm running v8.0.1.2

    Absolutely. Refer to this manual.

    Hi Alfred, thanks for the reply.

    The manual states that you can track by size AND color. I have both size and color options configured for my product however, I want the shopping cart to track the inventory by size only and not color. It seems to always give me a matrix of both size and color combinations.

    In the database product table, there are columns named:
    TrackInventoryBySizeAndColor
    TrackInventoryBySize
    TrackInventoryByColor

    So it seems like it can be done but I just can't find where I can enable inventory tracking by ONLY size.

    Could you please try to manually update the TrackInventoryByColor to 0, leaving only the TrackInventoryBySize to 1 via SQL Server Management Studio? Let's see about the result...

    Manually setting it in the db does not work. Ordering items doesnt affect the db inventory when doing this. I wonder if this feature is still supported. If not wouldn't that be a degradation in the shopping cart giving it less flexibility??
