Replacement Parts in Catalog Files - Detailed Description
Catalog Upload - Additional Attributes
Overview
Replacement Parts are uploaded using the Additional Attributes file with the attribute type of either replacement part or diagram. The columns of the file are used in slightly different ways from what is customary for Additional Attributes.
Replacement Parts Upload Template
The Additional Attributes Upload Template is also used for Replacement Parts.
AdditionalAttributesReplacementParts9.1.csv
Delta Uploads
For each SKU in an Additional Attributes delta upload file the following behavior is the result of the import:
- If the SKU does exist in the system the additional attribute data is replaced or added by the value(s) in the file
- If the SKU does not exist in the system or is empty a warning is generated and the SKU is not updated.
Note
In general, for an existing product, existing attribute values are replaced by new attribute values of the same type.
