No Product available for Import error

Post by tonygets » Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:57 pm

Hi,

I am running AC 7.0.3 with Dataport 7.3.130.

I am experienced in uploading CSV product files using the dataport however have an issue with this particular upload.

I have customised the fields in the CSV file to exclude a number of unwanted fields (could I have excluded a critical field?)

When I click to upload I receive an error message: 'No Product available for Import(Upload)'.

I have attempted to create a number of different CSV files starting with downloaded files using the dataport and creating them and saving them in a variety of ways. I cannot get this to work and would appreciate some assistance.

Below is a sample of the CSV data, some screenshots of the Dataport settings and an attachment of a sample CSV file that I have tried (saved as .xls as .csv is not allowed by the upload application).

Code: Select all

Name,Price,CostOfGoods,MSRP,Weight,Manufacturer,Sku,TaxCode,Shippable,Warehouse,InventoryModeId,InStock,ThumbnailUrl,ThumbnailAltText,ImageUrl,ImageAltText,Summary,Description,Vendor,DisablePurchase,VisibilityId,IconUrl,IconAltText,Categories,MSExcelWorkAround

Please let me know how I can resolve this issue?

There must be something wrong with the CSV data format as from the error it seems that the CSV reading engine is not able to parse CSV data records. I will post the details after examining the CSV data later.

Just a little correction to your CSV data. There is an empty column in your CSV data with name "MSExcelWorkAround" which have no value in any record. We export the MSExcelWorkAround column to handle a MS Excel bug due to which if your if last column does not have value for more then 16 consecutive records then MS Excel fails to read the CSV data correctly. So, your last CSV data column should have value for each record or at least should not meet the extreme condition that 16 or more CSV records having no value for last column.

The import routine however does not require this column. However it will not mind if you include but in that case you have to provide the default value "Do not delete" in each CSV record. So, you can fix your CSV data by just removing the MSExcelWorkAround column form the CSV data or by providing the default value Do not delete for each record.
