I have reposted this hoping that this is a better area and presentation of the issue I am trying to resolve.
I have several different "vendors/manufacturers", and would like to group my products by Creating "Vendor/manufacturer" Groups. By doing this I wish to be able to select a group and discount the entire group based on a sale to me via the vendor.
Can anyone explain to me in detail and step by step how I can do this by product type; IE: T-shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, etc so that I can move the products under their proper vendors and apply the sales start and end dates to these groups?
But I do not want the manufacturers to be displayed to the customers.
Ideally what I need is to be able to display to customers in the site map is:
Apparel-|
|- T-shirts
|- Performance Dry
|- Sweatshirts
|- Military Light T-Shirts
Drink-ware-|
|Mugs
etc, etc, etc.....
And be able to list all the items in these categories but yet control the pricing by saying (manufacturer/attribute/vendor):
Item#1 - zongo mfg.,
Item#2 bbb mfg.,
Item#3 zongo mfg.,
Item #4 #@$ mfg.,
etc
I tried to do it via attribute by creating an "Option Name" of the vendor as manufacturer, and making it read only for admin use only. But could not add it to the product. I figured if that would work, I could then move the items under their respective vendors accordingly and then use the sale/price manager to control the group sale.
Any ideas? I know it can be done as the software is really flexible, I just have been unable to find/figure a way to do it, or any documentation that would lead me in the right direction.
