However, there is no ability to track inventory for specific variation for that kind of product.

Grouped Product

A grouped product is a combination of simple products that have link with each others and are presented as a group. You can group variations of a single product or combine them by season or theme to create a set of different products. Customers can purchase product separately or as part of the group or all group as their demand. Additionally, each item is listed separately in the shopping cart.

Bundle Product

Bundle product is called customizable product that you can build your own. Item included in a bundle product can be based on simple product or virtual product.
