Okay so we have like 10000 SKU’s, they are just OEM numbers not like ‘prefix-supplier number’ just OEM numbers.
-
We have 760000 ‘new’ SKU’s to import (they have descriptions, weight price and product tags etc.)
-
the ‘problem’ is that the 760000 will include the 10000 skus already in unleashed so there will be duplicates so they wont upload as unleashed ignores duplicates.
-
We then want to make any product that has an aftermarket option of a new SKU number/Variation of the OEM number, for example ‘AL159594’ is genuine part in our system but it has aftermarket options, we want two SKU’s going forward AL159594 (Genuine) and AEP-AL159594* (Aftermarket) (*AEP is our company acronym lol)
So as this is soul destroying I need help please!
In a way I wouldnt mind just going through the Sku’s / product numbers and manually changing them to a AEP- Variation or a genuine only SKU but you cannot change the SKU in unleashed, its greyed out. So if I export the products like the attached file and change the SKU etc. like add AEP- infront of a SKU, what does it do, does it add upload a new product and keep the old? when I reimport it?
I just had a thought, perhaps its easier to delete everything (unfortunately lose a bit of data) then grab my 760000 SKUS that have just the OEM number as the SKU (the genuine) duplicate them but add AEP- Infront of them, then I upload all those product lines back into unleashed but (somehow) mark the AEP- variation has not sellable so that way they dont appear on shopify till I am ready to say yes that is an aftermarket part and actually has a aftermarket option (as there will be many products they are only available genuine and wont need the AEP- variation) so I would like them hidden till we confirm the preferred supplier etc.
do you guys have any suggestions on how to handle this?
So so so very confusing I know, I wish this was easier but I just dont see how…
Can you make only the products that are marked as sellable transfer to your e-commerce store (shopify) the rest will stay in unleashed?
Then I would go to an aftermarket supplier grab their parts list and then match them to the AEP-SKU/part which would then hopefully make that product to a ‘sellable product’ (or I can make it sellable at the same time in bulk edit?)
or perhaps it easier to make shopify the master and then make a variate of each product which would then make a SKU in unleashed correct? perhaps thats the way to go as unleashed doesnt do variates…
So sorry for all of this lol why is this so hard!
