Issue importing simple and variable products at the same time

Hello, first of all thanks for such a great plugin.

This is an example of the data I have in my csv:

UNIQUE_SKU | GROUP_ID | TITLE | SIZE | STOCK | PRICE
SKU101 | GRP01 | TSHIRT | S | 0 | 500
SKU102 | GRP01 | TSHIRT | M | 5 | 500
SKU103 | GRP01 | TSHIRT | L | 3 | 500
SKU104 | GRP01 | TSHIRT | XL | 2 | 500
SKU50 | GRP50 | DRESS | M | 50 | 500

As you can see, the first four rows are variations of a variable product, and the last one corresponds to a simple product.

I need the simple product to manage its own stock (without having any variations) while the variable product should manage stock only for its variations and not for the parent product.

I haven’t been able to achieve this because if I enable inventory management in the inventory tab, the simple product manages stock correctly, BUT the variable product also manages stock at the parent product level. This is a problem because the parent product shows the stock of the first variation, and if the first variation has a stock of 0, then the entire product appears as “Out of Stock.” And if I dont check the manage stock at inventory tab, then the simple product would have unlimited stock.

I have tried all the options in the Variations tab. Manage stock is enabled for variations in variations tab. I also have these two options checked:
– Create products with no variations as simple products.
– Set _stock value for parent product to the _stock value for the first variation.

In conclusion, what I need is that within the same import the simple product to manage stock at the parent product level, while ensuring that the variable product manages stock exclusively within its variations and not at the parent level.

Is it possible to achieve this? What should I do? Thank you for your help.
