Import Products creates duplicate categories
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 10:21 am
I am having a similar problem as an earlier post: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=10972
I am using DataPort with:
VERSION: 7.0.2
BUILD: 11659
CommerceBuilder.DataClient.Api: 7.0.2.1
CommerceBuilder.DataClient.Csv: 7.0.34.0
My store has parent and sub categories, and no further sub categories within the first sub categories.
I have some sub categories with the same name as a parent category.
Ex:
Parent Category=Software Child Category=Anit-Virus
Parent Category=Biometrics Child Category=Software
When I import products with my csv file, I have the Categories field populated with the category parent name and child name like this: "Software: Anit-Virus" and "Biometrics: Software".
After import, the Child Categories that are supposed to be in the "Software" Parent Category are now moved into the existing Child Category of "Software" and the products that were supposed to be there are missing. I did not get any errors during import.
