I am sure this must have been addressed before, but I can't find it... so I am hoping someone can shed some light...
Using V9 it states (in shipping > settings...) according to the official miva manual....
1 - Pack master product (Uses variant weight)
Select this option to always use the master product weight. Always ignore the part/attribute weight.
Example : If you have a master t-shirt product that weighs 2 pounds regardless of the size or color that
the customer orders, select this option.
2 - Pack variant parts using part weights as-is (Ignores variant weight)
Select this option to always use the part/attribute weight. Always ignore the weight of the master
product:
- Kit: The weight is calculated as the weight of all of the parts in the kit. If the kit has three parts, and
each part weighs 5 pounds, the weight of the kit is calculated as 15 pounds. It doesn't matter what the
weight of the kit master product was set to.
- Master product with variants: if you had a master t-shirt product with variants, you would set the
weight of each variant. The weight of the master product is ignored. The product weight depends on
which variant the customer orders.
===================
Does it make sense to anyone what these two actually mean?
#1 - Use master weight, and not attribute weight.... but master weight is _not_ variant weight... is it?
"If you have a master t-shirt product that weighs 2 pounds regardless of the size or color" but it says "(uses variant weight)...
Is the variant considered "the master"? If so, what is the master considered? A bookmark or something?
#2 - Use variant weight... but yet it says "ignores variant weight", yet Miva says "if you had a master t-shirt product with variants, you would set the weight of each variant. The weight of the master product is ignored." HUH?
So, #2 you set the weight of each variant, but it "ignores variant weight" ???
And in #1 you "use the master product weight" but it states "(Uses variant weight)"...
I am dazed and confused....
What happened to the old system - "master weight PLUS attribute (or variant) weight = the total weight" ??
What setting do we use to end up with the weight of the product?.
