Please help - File exchange variation CSV upload errors

[hometownapparel]

Hi,

I'm pretty stuck and frustrated.  I'm getting the below errors when trying to upload my csv file.  Everything looks correct to me.  I've gone over it 50 times.  I could use the help of some fresh eyes.

Here are the errors:

Error - Variations Specifics and Item Specifics entered for a Multi-SKU item should be different.

Error - Variation Specifics provided does not match with the variation specifics of the variations on the item.

Error - Missing name in the variation specifics or variation specifics set.|

My CSV file:

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Wyatt

Here are some basic tips for all:

1) If you have not previously uploaded successfully to File Exchange, upload a single record first to rule out other issues.

2) When testing a variation, upload only one master record with a small number of variations.

Variation errors:

In some categories, you can not reuse a master-record ItemSpecific name as the name of your Variation group. For example, in some cases where "Color" is a required ItemSpecific name, it can not be used as the name of a variation. An alternative spelling like "Colors" could be used as the name of the Variation. I think most of your messages relate to your use of "Color" as a name.

Aside from the "Color" issue, it looks like your "RelationshipDetails" and "PicURL" fields are correctly constructed for your variations.

After you change the name of the Variation and try again, File Exchange will move along the columns until the next error is encountered, so fixing a file is often a nibbling process.

Although you are probably beyond that stage, here is a Variation tutorial with some File Exchange examples at the end:

Hi,

Thank you.  Yes, it was the "color" issue you described.
