Magento can not associates a simple and customizable product

Question

I created a custom product and went to the related products tab and used the quick product creation feature to create a bunch of products based on my configurations. However, these products are not displayed in the list of related products.

I noticed that the attributes I created did not even appear on the product editing page on a simple or custom product.

First I started creating 3 new attributes for the custom product that I want to add, I adjust the settings for each of them and create a new set of attributes based on the standard, which includes the new attributes that I created.

When I create a new simple product or a custom product, you do not see the attributes that I created. I tried with attributes on the general tab as well as on their tab. But they are never visible when you try to edit a product.

I suspect why I cannot bind products due to this strange problem

I am using 1.4.2 [edited to add my workflow / screen capture]

Answer 1

It took some time, but finally it turned out. When I created my attributes, in the attribute properties, where it says “Apply to:”, I assigned it only to custom products, but you should also assign simple products. (or just applicable to everyone)

Remember that you will have to recreate the original custom product before it works.

Assuming you created attributes with parameters and a set of attributes. Could you create a configurable product again.

• Product Management → Add Product Select your default attribute set and custom product.

• In the next window, you should select the attributes that you created. Suppose there are three color, aromrance and volume attributes as three different attributes, and you select a flavor here to associate Configurables with the ones you will create. After successfully creating a custom product.

• Creating simple products based on the same set of default attributes

• You should be able to see all the attributes you created (color, aroma, and volume).

• Select any Aroma attribute.
• Go to Product Management → select to edit the custom product you just created.
• Go to the “Related Products” tab and select “Any” from the drop-down list in the far left corner.
• You should be able to see the Simple that you created now.
• You should also consider that the parent-child attribute, “flavor,” is present above the product grid.
• Make sure the downtime is in "In Stock" before you see if they appear in the interface.

The attribute is not required to appear on the custom product editing page. Follow the steps above, hoping this helps you. Please let me know if you are unable to complete any of the above steps.

You can also read the link below, which is very useful for creating a configuration product. http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-creating-a-configurable-product/

I had the same problem.

A possible workaround is to add attributes to individual products even after they become available through a custom product in the "Apply to:" section.
