Magento - Out Of Stock products showing

Question

I'm having an issue with Magento (CE 1.9.0.1) and out of stock products displaying on the category page. The configuration looks fine, I've flushed the cache and also the Indexes are up to date. There is a configurable which has 1 simple product assigned. The configurable product is set up to manage stock, and the simple product is also set up to manage stock, with a qty of 0 and Out of Stock. I have the same set up on another Magento site, when one of the simple products are set to 0 and Out of Stock, the Configurable product will then become out of stock and not display on the category.

System -> Configuration -> Inventory (Screenshot)

• Manage Stock: Yes
• Backorders: No Backorders
• Qty for Items: 0

Configurable Product (Screenshot)

• Manage Stock: Yes
• Stock Availability: In Stock

Simple Product (Screenshot)

• Everything has "Use Config Settings" checked
• Manage Stock: Yes
• Qty: 0
• Stock Availability: Out of Stock

Answer 1
