We share a lot of raw stock across many of our Miva stores, and customize on demand when the order comes in. I have been implementing Inventory Variants only for the purpose of using the image swapping for different selected attributes. The problem is that I don't really want the inventory control portion, so I have a workaround in place.
I had some custom script written years ago that did the image swapping based on some image naming conventions we came up with. It just got to be too confusing for people who were adding or removing attributes so I was trying to do something this time they couldn't break :-)
- These particular items have a starting inventory of 1,000,000.
- Created a custom product field used to indicate that this inventory is bogus.
- Wrapped the inventory stock status message in a conditional that checks the custom field and skips displaying the stock status message if so.
