title: Magento super attribute configuration
body: <p>I have a store, with the Mico AVP price variation extension installed.
  This allows you to determine a price based on selected attribute data, and apply discounts.</p>
  
  <p>This is based upon basic public signs. Health and safety, general notices etc etc.
  As part of a config product process...a product has 2 custom options. Height and width. I have an observer which adds these to a product when new, or updated...if they are not present.</p>
  
  <p>I have a third option called material. I have created three simple products...onr for each material. These are assigned to a 'sign' product. 
  In the super attribute configuration part...i add set prices, which are used to help calculate the final price of the product.</p>
  
  <p>At the moment...i would need to add this info, for each configurable sign i create. And i wanted to automate this. I thought, that if i add the prices to the actual SIMPLE PRODUCTS (eg, the material products i created), that it would use this info. But it doesnt. I HAVE to set the 'super attribute configuration' prices.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to understand this area more, given it doesnt work as expected. Why do i have to set a 's-a-c' price...why wont it use the set product price instead, if no s-a-c price set?</p>
  
  <p>Hope this makes sense. Heres a screenshot. I want to change the product price (currently seen as 0.02)..and use these rather then the decimal 'prices' you see. Then i would only have to update the 'material' products when a price changes for a paticular material.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
