 * Hello,
 * I have not yet installed Jigoshop but am considering it but I need inventory 
   control from a common pool.
 * Product is a bulk item that is sold by wieght but discrete packages. So inventory
   is to bulk quanity available but variations are discrete wieghts.
 * Eg Wheat. Bulk measurement is pounds.
    Variations are 1 lb, 5 lb, 50 lb.
 * Is it possible for Jigoshop to manage this type of inventory and if so how?

 * Hi
    Using the current inventory management system it is only possible to manage
   items by quantity. If you would like to achieve the above, you would need to 
   separate the product into discrete quantities (eg. 350 of 1lb, 100 of 5lb), that
   would be separate from each other. This would be easy using an attribute for 
   variations and their values. In the case your smaller packages would run out 
   of stock, you would need to manually update the quantities to match your actual
   stock amount.
