SKU field validation and automatic completion improve data reliability

Validation of the SKU field and automatic filling are important processes that ensure that product identifiers (SKUs) are correct and consistent.

SKU Field Validation

• Required Field: The SKU field is required, and each product must have a unique SKU to be correctly associated with the system.

• Error Checking: If the SKU value is missing or does not meet the system's expectations, the row will be skipped during import. This means it is important to verify that each product has the correct SKU before uploading the file.

Automatic Filling

• Automatic Generation: If the SKU field is left blank, the system can automatically generate an SKU, but it is advisable to provide unique codes yourself to make management and updates easier.

• Linking: SKUs link the CSV row to the correct product, allowing for efficient updating or creation of product attributes.

Recommendations

• Test with small datasets first: Before large-scale imports, it is advisable to test with a small CSV file to ensure everything works as expected.

• Backups: Always remember to back up before making major changes to the system.

By following these practices, you can ensure that the SKU field operates efficiently and accurately.
