Hello,
I guess that SKU is the "item id"... right ?

Well, I need (in opencart 1.4) to put SKU in product options.
To better explain, I have a data structure like the following:

Item id - Model - Option description

01.004.001 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 8/10 mt lenght - 100 euro
01.004.002 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 10/15 mt lenght - 150 euro (or +50)
01.004.003 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 15/20 mt lenght - 200 euro (or +100)

01.005.001 - Nylon rope A - 8mm diameter - 10 euro
01.005.002 - Nylon rope A - 10mm diameter - 12 euro
01.005.003 - Nylon rope A - 12mm diameter - 14 euro

How can I have SKU in product options in opencart 1.4 ?

OR

How can I manage this structure WITHOUT create multiple products ?

Thanks a lot for your patience !

SKU = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock-keeping_unit
Or (in short): a SKU is the item id / article id you got from your vendor and (should) exist only once.

I am not shure if I understood.
You want to display the SKU in the store (to the users) at the product (screen)?

I'll better explain:
Item id - Model - Option description[/i]
01.004.001 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 8/10 mt lenght - 100 euro
01.004.002 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 10/15 mt lenght - 150 euro (or +50)
01.004.003 - Anchor Fortress - for boats 15/20 mt lenght - 200 euro (or +100)

I need to put these datas in opencart 1.4

BUT because the above three lines are THE SAME PRODUCT (with three variations) I'd like
to insert only one product (Anchor Fortress) with 3 options.
The problem is that in Opencart 1.4 the SKU fiels IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR MAIN PRODUCT, not for the options...
... so NOW in the SKU I enter 01.004 and I loose the last 3 digits of the SKU (.001, .002, .003) because those
last 3 digits are referred to the product variations (options)...

How can I work around this situation ?

Thanks again

No, because they are NOT the same product.
Each SKU is unique!
And in above sample you have 3 different products

Therefore you have to create 3 products (with different SKUs).

No, the product is the same!!! The scenario is like the sizes management in a t-shirt shop

If I have a t-shirt with 3 different sizes (XL - L - M) is only one product with three different options...

What I need is only add the SKU also for the options...

You need my Options Plus mod.
It adds:
- Weight per option
- SKU per option
- Info per option
- Image per option

I will convert it to 1.4.0 today

Hello Qphoria,

I believe I need this update as well. I posted on another thread but I want to give you the scenario and please let me know if this mod would help me solve this problem.

I am selling Bern Helmets
The two options are a thin shell or a hard hat

Of those two versions you have six different color options

The thin shell you can choose sizes small to XL

While the hard hat you can choose small to XXXL

In addition each color has it's own sku for a total of 12 manufacturer skus.

I would also need to be able to adjust quantity based on the three factors of hat, size and color. As of now it seems I can only do it by each of those.

Here is the link tot he initial listing on what I tried to do which I don't see working.
