Variant vs Variations - combination can't be determined

[jsb]

I'm trying to set it up so visitor can customize their bike at one set price.

Bike Color

Seat Color

Grip Color

Front Wheel Color

Back Wheel Color



From what I can tell you can only have 3 variations. I've tried using both variants and variations together but I keep getting that my combination cannot be determined message.



My two variants are set up as the following:

OPTGRE,150.00,0.00,0,Green Strider,Seat Green,

OPTRED,150.00,0.00,0,Red Strider,Seat Red,

OPTBLU,150.00,0.00,0,Blue Strider,Seat Blue,

OPTYEL,150.00,0.00,0,Yellow Strider,Seat Yellow,

OPTORG,150.00,0.00,0,Orange Strider,Seat Orange,

OPTPIN,150.00,0.00,0,Pink Strider,Seat Pink,

OPTWHT,150.00,0.00,0,,Seat White,

Hello,



Your list of Variants needs to include every possible combination of choices that you define on that screen. So if you are using Variants for Bike Color and Seat Color, your list will need to give a choice for every possible seat color with a green bike, then again for a red bike and so on.



The reason you are getting errors right now would be for picking a combination that does not currently appear in your list, like a Green Strider with a Pink Seat.



This is only going to be an issue for the two options you use in the Variants screen, normally this area would be for options that potentially alter the price of a product or might have unique weight or stock values, but it looks like all you need in this case is another set of menus to go with the choices you are covering in Variations. It is a good idea to use Variants to cover the options with the least amount of choices so that you don't have to make a very long list of possible combinations.

Thanks. I hear what you're saying. I'm assuming a majority of e-junkie users don't need more than 3 variations. That would be the easiest way for me proceed. Thanks again.
