Does each product-configuration create new SKU?

    Hello, I’m debating wether to use this plugin or setting up 1000s of variants for my product’s multiple options (1 product, with 12 choices, each has 2-3 options) It’s like choosing your ‘build-spec for a new car.

    I’ll need to combine the WooCommerce site with an ERP/MRP system to enable correct pick&pack for each vehicle assembly and parts-bin order.

    Would creating a variable-product (which has a unique SKU for each possible variant), be any advantage?

    Hello,

    You should use variable-product options if you need to track inventory (in stock) of the selected options and if the selected options affects the shipping weight.

    Also the variable-product options will be easier to integrate with an ERP/MRP system because they are available in the WooCommerce API functions.

    The options of this plugin are more like customer text notes to his order.
    So they do not have inventory tracking (available quantity), weight and custom SKU for each selected option value combination.
    And they are not available through the default WooCommerce API functions.

    Thank you for the very clear explanation.

    Your plugin is very easy to use, it’s ideal for setting up the site demonstrator while I’m working on the Variable-product version.
