can stock by attribute work using only one attribute?

I had posted this on an old thread but received no response to my concern so thought I would create a new one.

I am using Zen cart 1.3.9h (new install)
and have installed SBA 1.4.13
view here trial site

I have a problem trying to figure out how to use only one attribute for tracking the stock of an item with several attributes

I have a specific shirts and hoodie of 1 color for a product then I have attributes for size, if it is personalized, where it is personalized, and what name.

I am given 6 variations (in SBA)for each size when all I am trying to track is the number in stock for a particular size as all the other attributes are done after the order is made.

the old saying size does matter.. :blush:

So am I doing something wrong or does this module not handle this type of scenario. If not can someone recommend one that does? or a process I can follow to correct this. I have gone threw all the threads and FAQ's but perhaps i missed it.

Any help would be welcome

Thank you in advance.

I am surprised I have had no response. Is this a problem that can not be solved?
OR
Have I not explained it well enough?

I would think this would be an issue with many e-commerce sites.

I would appreciate any input or ideas..

Thanks
