SKU field validation and auto-fill improve data reliability

SKU field validation

• Required field: The SKU field is mandatory, and each product must have a unique SKU to ensure correct mapping within the system.

• Error checking: If a SKU value is missing or does not meet system requirements, the row will be skipped during import. It is essential to verify that every product has a valid SKU before uploading your file.

Automatic SKU generation

• Auto-generation: If the SKU field is left blank, the system can automatically generate a SKU. However, it is recommended to provide your own unique codes for easier management and future updates.

• Linking: SKUs are used to match CSV rows to the correct products, enabling efficient updating or creation of product attributes.

Recommendations

• Test with small batches first: Before performing large-scale imports, test with a small CSV file to ensure everything works as expected.

• Backups: Always create backups before making major changes to your system.

By following these best practices, you can ensure that the SKU field functions effectively and without errors.
