^I think you are right. So what you are saying is that each attribute that you have has it's own record in the database. So therefore, I could specify that each attribute that I apply to the product would have it's own $product['attribute_sku'] field and I would then be able to display that in certain places (including the confirmation email)??

This seems like it would involve a wee bit of coding and I haven't taken too close of a look at the orders.php file (which is where this would have to be done). furthermore, to make it user-friendly I would have to familiarize myself with the admin side so I can submit the SKU to the database and assign it to it's $products['attribute_sku'] field.

Anyone love coding a nice little plugin???

Does each attribute have a full SKU, or is the variant SKU composed of base + attribute values? Do you have multiple attributes on products, such that a product with A1 and B3 is different from one with A1 and B2?
^Yes each attribute has a full unique SKU. I don't have multiple attributes as of right now. Here is my exact situation. So for product A you can order different amounts(quantity) so I called this attribute Quantity. Now there is a 90 count (Quantity value) and a 180 count (Quantity value). If you select Product A, 90 count (SKU: 4545) you would be selecting a different SKU than if you selected Product A, 180 count (SKU: 5555)
