product attributes versus quantity

[shonzagall]

I'm creating a website with oscommerce for the first time and I'm wondering about the following - When we create a product x and give it attributes y and z and add it to our catalog with a quantity of, for example, 2, I see the following problem:

Say we have one product x with attributes y and z.

Say a shopper buys this product x, choosing the attribute y version of it. Now OScommerce subtracts 1 from our total product availability. But OScommerce does not know that the attribute y version of product x is sold out (we only had 1 of it, the other is version attribute z). It still offers the product in version y and z to the next shopper. If the next shoppper decides to buy product x version y, OSCommerce is fine with it but we will be in trouble.

Shouldn't we have a way to add n amount of product x attribute y and add m amount of product x attribute z?

 

I hope that's clear and that someone knows the answer to this,

Thanks for looking,

Shon
