I noticed a few of my associated products did not show up when i tried to create a group product. The problem i found was to do with what i had done when i created the simple product . Their is an option that i had used called custom option under the product information tab that allows you to to create personlised attributes for the simple product that you are creating. when i removed those attributes that i created for the product the simple product appeared in the group products .

It looks like their is a bug in the system and i hope somebody can fix it .

After taking a deep dive into the Magento core code, I found the issue. I had 2 attributes for my products: color and size. The size and color attributes were only applied to "configurable products" not "simple products". Magento was requiring the associated "simple products" to have a color and size. When it found they didn't have them, it filtered them out - hence the "out of stock". What's extra confusing is why Magento was letting me choose color and size when creating associated products even though they weren't allowed to have these attributes.

Lesson: Make sure product attributes are applied to "simple products" in the Manage Attributes section of the admin.
