Stock control with multiple variants

I have been testing 2.0.24.

What I want to do:  Customer can select from T-shirt page, the color, size, and the picture the t-shirt has printed on. I need a stock control based on the combinations. E.g.,

T-shirt (20), Color Black (6), Size M (2), Print PINK (1)  = Left one pink printed M size Black T-shirt.
(Custom fields; plug-ins; stockable variant: Option name 1 Color, Option name 2 Size, Option name 3 Print)

Problem:
The "Inventory" doesn't take into account the relationships I have created. I have inserted stock info for every child. However, that parent doesn't know how many children it has ;) (They are not counted)

Hi

The stock concerns the child products not the attributes you have.

WIth the stockable variant plugin you are creating a child product with certain attributes, price and stock
So instead of: T-shirt (20), Color Black (6), Size M (2)

You should say:
Product A: Color: Black, Size:M ->stock:10
Product B: Color: Red, Size:L ->stock:8

Thanks for your reply Balai. I have to think about this for a while.
