How to create commerce product content using date repeat entity module?

Question

I am using date repeat entity module in a content type say Movies to successfully clone the nodes.I also have a commerce product reference field in that content type which is working fine when I am not using repeat date. I want to be able to create a new commerce product content for each node in the series when using repeat date.(while creating the Movies node I can see product fields like SKU,product title etc.)

For example, I am creating a new Movies having start as 1st Jan 2016 and end date as 2nd Jan 2016.I want to repeat this event for every Friday till 31st Jan. Now there will be 5 nodes created automatically. how do i create a new commerce product content for each of these nodes?

Thanks.

I'm not too familiar with Date repeat entity module, but why don't you try implementing hook_node_insert() in a custom module, to handle creating a new product every time a a new node is created:

/**
 * Implements hook_node_insert().
 */
function my_module_node_insert($node) {

  //check type and that no product set previously
  if($node->type == 'my_type') {

    //create product
    $cp = commerce_product_new('product');
    $cp->is_new = TRUE;
    $cp->revision_id = NULL;
    $cp->uid = 1;
    $cp->status = 1;
    $cp->created = $cp->changed = time();
    $cp->sku = 'My SKU';
    $cp->title = 'My Product';
    $cp->language = LANGUAGE_NONE;
    $cp->commerce_price = array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array( 0 => array(
      'amount' => 1000, //$10.00
      'currency_code' => 'USD',
    )));

    //save new product
    commerce_product_save($cp);

    //set reference field
    $node->field_product['und'][0]['product_id'] = $cp->product_id;

    //update node
    node_save($node);
  }
}

I haven't tested this code, but this would be the general approach I would try.

This would only work if the Date repeat module invoked this hook though.
