After the successful installation of the module, a new column for status gets available to the product combination list. By default, the status of the existing combinations will be “Active”.

Go to Catalog -> Edit Product -> Combinations to view the existing combinations of a particular product.

Also, the admin can activate or deactivate the status of the existing combinations.

Front End View

The users can view only the active combinations on the product page.

NOTE: It is mandatory for at least one combination to be active at any particular time.

If the admin tries to deactivate all the combinations of the product, an error message will display on the page.

Display deactivated combination as out of stock

If enabled, then the deactivated combinations of a product as out of stock on the product page.

In the above screenshot we can see that the deactivated combination (Size: XL, Color: White) is displayed as out of stock.

If admin has disabled the option, then the combination will be hidden from the product page.

If the quantity of a combination Size: S, Color: Black goes to 0, then the combination will be disabled automatically.

The module automatically deactivates the combination once it gets out of stock. So, when the admin refreshes the page, the status of the combination will change.

Front End View

As per the configuration, the combination will not display on the product page.

After the installation of the module, a new tab “Deactivated Combinations” get available under Catalog. From here, the admin can view a list of all the combinations he has deactivated.

Now, the admin can activate or deactivate the product combinations in bulk with bulk upload feature.

In a CSV file, the admin needs to create 3 columns: product ID, product attribute, and Enable.

Product ID and product attribute are for the identification of the combination for which the admin needs to updated the status.

And, in the enable column, the admin needs to specify 0 or 1. 0 means deactivate and 1 means activate.

After uploading the CSV file, the admin can view a list of combinations deactivated under the deactivated combinations tab.
