Variant Product - Parent Quantities?

[Zebra]

Hi,

I've created a product with 4 different variants (colour) and they're all set up correctly with each having the set quantities. Clicky.

In Product Manager do I need to set the parent product of the variants to have a quantity equal to the sum of all the variants? What happens if I leave it at 0 (seems to work fine and all variants can be ordered up to their in stock quantities).

I assuming that if I have 2 of each variant ie 8 in total, that I should set the parent product quantity at 8 and it will then decrease as each of the variants are ordered giving me an idea of overall stock levels?

Cheers,

AJ

I think you just leave the parent product set at 0. That's the way we've always done it, and it works fine.
