[4.9.1] Out of Stock Message

This is more a question regarding what other users do.

I have products with variants such as tee shirt red, green or blue. I Have inventory control turned on. the problem is that if I have 2 red, 2 green and 0 blue then open cart shows the parent product as being out of stock.

What I would ideally like is status messages to say in stock, some variants out of stock and out of stock.


Or is there an easier way round this issue.

It is fine if I have a product with no variants.

Thanks for your input

I have stock control on both the product level and the options level
For products without options, I control the stock on the product level
For products with options, I control the stock on the options level
but I can't remember if I wrote a mod to achieve this or if it was standard o/c. My guess is that I wrote a mod.
