Do you have html in your product descriptions? I suspect something isn't getting correctly encoded/decoded in the SOAP web services call.

Exporting works fine so far in Sp3 but it does NOT export category placements of products.

I have 2600 products I'm trying to import and I'm not sure how to tell the products what category to go in on my excel sheet. I did product and category export but my category field is blank so I'm stuck, if anyone can help that would be great! I would assume the category field would have numbers in it so I'd know what the category numbers are?


Please help ASAP

You'll need to know the 'Bvin' for each category. I'm sure there are cleverer ways to do this but here's how I did it:


  1. Go into the DB and into the categories table.
  2. Do a simple query to list the category names and their Bvins (Bvin is just B V Identification Number and is the unique column in most BV tables) - If you switch to table view you should then be able to highlight and copy all of the category names and bvins.
  3. Now switch to Excel and create a new spreadsheet and paste the category names and bvins. You'll use this as a lookup table.
  4. In the file you're preparing for import create a new, temporary column for your category names (make it to the left of the CategoryID column). Use the correct category names (as they appear on your site) in this column.
  5. Next, in the real category ID column that the importer is expecting do a lookup (check Excel help if you've never done this before) to retrieve the Bvin that corrisponds to the category name in the temporary column.
  6. You should now have a plain English category name and a Bvin next to it. Check with the lookup table to make sure they're getting mapped correctly, each time the category changes as you go down your products list you should see a different Bvin).
  7. When you're done (if there are any blanks check your spelling of your category names) save the results as the .CSV file as detailed in the importer help.
  8. IMPORTANT! - Now open the .CSV file and delete the plain English category name column.
  9. Save it back out.


If you don't have many categories you could skip the whole lookup section and just paste the correct IDs in yourself. If you don't have access to your DB and don't have too many categories then you could simply go to each category's edit page and note down the Bvin from the URL string:

http://www.yoursite.com/BVAdmin/Catalog/Categories_Edit.aspx?id=9cdedead-ac7c-4dd9-a8b3-76b7d417b7f7

That last bit (after id=) is your category ID.

This all assumes that the products have never been in your DB. Re-reading your post I'm not clear if they have or not. If they have you should be able to get their category id's out of the DB directly.

Hope that helps, Matt

I am unable to login with the tool to our site. The site is a wholesale only site so you need to login to a main entry page before accessing the store. My guess is that this is the problem that is keeping the BVC5 tool from accessing the files it needs. Is there a way to make this work? The site is broadbay.biz.




Thanks!

Marcus,

Could you give me a quick rundown of where to look if I wanted to add a field to the Product table, let's call it "DealerPrice", and have the Import Tool import/export it. I'm looking to do a few customizations to the software for a client of mine, and they need more price levels as a starter project. Any guidance you can offer would be great. I'm kind of under the gun to get this new list of products imported, and while I'm sure I can figure it out.....I'm not sure how long it will take me ;-)

Thanks!

I'm surprised that this tool doesn't import or export any of the extended production information like choices/modifiers, additional images, up-sells/cross-sells, etc. That would definitely save some time!
