I am just testing with one variation item in csv import. It keeps telling me that:

Found child row but no parent in the sequence. Parent SKU = SD-AL-ALM

Hello,

Please be sure that there is a row in your import file that is just the parent item (without any of the variations), and contains the SKU "SD-AL-ALM". Also, if you haven't located it already, you may locate the instructions for importing items with variations via .csv file here:

Please let us know should you continue to have trouble with this.

Regards,
Nathan

I did have the parent sku on each line for child item except for the parent line itself. Can I send you the file and take a look?

Hello,

In addition to having the parent SKU in each child row, there will also need to be a separate row for the parent SKU itself. Do you currently have a separate row for each parent item within the file?

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Yes, the first row is parent,sku=ABCD, variation1=color, parent sku=blank cell.
The following rows are child listing, with sku=ABCD-red,ABCD-blue, variation=red, blue, etc, the parent sku=ABCD.

Hello,

I noticed that for your most recent import attempt the SKU is already in your Vendio account. Are you using the "import mode" or "update mode" option when importing the file?

Regards,
Nathan

I used the file test a few before full upload.csv. I used the import mode. I searched to make sure there is no sku existing of the same sku as import file.
