Attributes cannot be on purchase for stock types non depleting/virtual/labour/applies/kitting. This is because attributes need to apply to a quantity purchased. Kitted, Applies, Virtual and Labour stock is not purchased, whilst non depleting do not have quantities of stock applied to them. Attributes on sell is allowed.
