Works nicely. Hope it gets added to WooCommerce 🙂
(or some variation of this)

add_filter('woocommerce_admin_stock_html', 'admin_product',10,2);
    function admin_product($stock_html,$product) {
            if( $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) {
                $stock_html = $product->get_stock_quantity() . '<br>'  . '<mark class="instock">'. __('In stock', 'woocommerce' ) . '</mark>';
            }
    return $stock_html;
}

Yeah, I think admin products page gets the stock from simple product’s stock request or something.

woocommerce_get_stock_quantity -filter is used in the admin page stock display. I can filter through my function to echo out the product’s quantity (the data is only int) and it will echo main product’s stock but it will still show the total stock quantity of main product and variation’s, because the way it’s coded.
Weird, I thought it would echo the total amount, not just main product…

‘
add_filter(‘woocommerce_get_stock_quantity’, ‘testings’,10,1);
function testings($product){
if(is_admin()){
echo “<b><font color=’#7ad03a’>Main product in stock : </font></b>”; echo $product; echo “
<hr>”;
}
return $product;
}
‘

Well, customer only sees variations and their stock quantity – they’ll never see main product’s quantity. Only place where user sees “wrong” stock quantity now is admin products page so basically admin is just the problem.

Wrapping it around is_admin() is very simply way, no idea why I didn’t thing of that. Let see what I do (prolly crash the server few times…) 🙂

Yes I could add new field for the variation as “variation stock”, and take variation stock management off, so it doesn’t affect admin products page’s stock quantity, but I am assuming it will cause more problems when adding products to cart and in checkout page etc…?

Adding products to cart, alerts about trying to add more than there is stock, stock qty management after checkout etc. are working nicely with having variation’s stock management turned on.

offtopic :
(Expect that I need to find the best way to dynamically check/adjust stock so user can’t add more variations to cart than there are main product’s stock. User could buy 30x variation A (10) and 1x variation B (20), total of 320, when main product’s stock is 300)

I’ll check can I achieve this with that woocommerce_get_availability filter, it is used by class-wc-product-variation.php and abstract-wc-product.php

Yeah, but really would have loved some other option than coding plugin 🙂 Hope in some day this “feature” will find in to WooCommerce as default, because it’s like very common stuff in other ecommerces to have this kind of setup…

Thanks for the answer.

I tested “VarkTech Pricing Deals for WooCommerce”-plugin and it looked promising but didn’t do what I wanted. Yes it could make that kind of deals (one for 1€, 5 for 4€ etc.) but it doesn’t show it in the product page, only in cart.

It might work with having product quantity field as dropdown menu (with pre determined quantity) but the price should update and show according to the selected value, or something 🙂
