Configurable Products and SKU Issue

[tonysargma79f8]

Hello, 

I can not figure Configurable Products Logic .. I have used different platform and was breeze setting up this feature .. my issue as follow. 

ex: Shirt , with 4 Size , S, M, L, XL, 

Each size has it own SKU , so 4 SKU in total , however, creating configurable products, I have to assign SKU to main Product template .. that makes it total of 5 SKU , If i use One of the SKU in Main Template , due to duplication , Magento add 1 to the end of main SKU .. So , how I can create configurable products page with only 4 SKU's ?

Thanks.

Hello @tonysargma79f8 

First, you need to create simple products, each with various size options, such as Size S, M, L, and XL.

Next, we will create one main product as a configurable product.

Afterward, you need to assign the simple products with different sizes to this main configurable product in the appropriate section.

Alternatively, you can create child products directly with different size options and link them to the main product.

Once the simple products are set up with all size combinations, they can be grouped under the configurable product for easier management.

Ensure that each size variant is correctly assigned to the main product so customers can select the size they want during checkout.

Hope it helps !

In Magento 2, a configurable product is like a main product that groups multiple simple products, each with its own option (like size or color) and unique SKU. The main product also needs a SKU, which means there will be an extra one along with the SKUs of the individual options.

For example, if you are selling a shirt in sizes S, M, L, and XL, each size should be a separate simple product with its own SKU. When creating the main configurable product, Magento requires a different SKU for it. If you try to use the same SKU as one of the sizes, Magento will automatically change it by adding a number at the end to prevent duplicates.

This setup ensures that both the main product and its variations have unique SKUs, making inventory tracking and product management easier. Even though it adds one extra SKU for the main product, it helps Magento keep everything organized properly.
