If you want to use variations in the system, you have to:
 - define the variations axes on the resource level, by using 
setVariationBaseCategoryList on your product (example: 
product.setVariationBaseCategoryList([colour]) )
 - then, define the available variations on the resource level (example: 
product.setSizeList(['blue', 'red'])
 - finally, on sale supply line, the matrixbox will now display 'blue' and 
'red' in its range if you select 'size' as a price variation axe.
