What calls should I use to revise price / quantity for items with variations?

Detailed Description

Here is an example that will help with understanding what calls need to be made for variations depending on their state:

Assumptions:
1. Item listed with variation1, variation2 and variation3
2. variation1 has a sale while variation2 and variation3 do not have any sale 

Now let's assume you need to set the quantity to 0 for all of the variations one after another since they get out of stock

Variation Requirement Action Effect Action for restocking
variation1 Need to set the quantity to 0 When there is a SALE in the variation and using ReviseInventoryStatus to set the quantity to 0 Variation will remain in the listing and will appear as out of stock on the view item page i.e. buyers will not be able to select the variation for purchase Use ReviseInventoryStatus and set the quantity
variation2 Need to set the quantity to 0 When there is NO SALE in the variation and using ReviseInventoryStatus to set the quantity to 0 Variation will be deleted from the listing since it does not have any sale and will not appear on the view item page. Use ReviseFixedPriceItem and add the variation
variation3 Need to set the quantity to 0(all other variations quantity is already 0) Use EndFixedPriceItem.
Since variation3 is the only variation with a quantity > 0 at this point, you cannot use ReviseInventoryStatus		 Item will end Use RelistFixedPriceItem to relist the item with the required variations
