o
Create Attribute in Magento and use YES for “Use
To Create Configurable Product”
o
Assigned to Magento Attribute Set
o
Map the new attribute to Magento data flow export profile
o
Create in Channel Advisor “Define Field Headers”
o
Assigned to Channel Advisor “Import Template”
o
Built out in Channel Advisor “Product Variations”
In this case, we built a new color attribute in Magento EE and then assigned it to the appropriate attribute set (OUTDOOR).
- Magento > Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attribute Sets
Then you have to add the new attribute set to the Export File Field Mapping that gets sent to Channel Advisor:
- Magento > System > Import/Export Profile > (select profile) > (edit Profile Wizard for Field Mapping)
Now you have to define the field header in Channel Advisor:
- CA > Inventory > Product Mapping > Define File Headers
- CA > Inventory > Product Mapping> > Templates
In CA you will need to build out the new Product Varations:
- CA > Inventory > Products > Product Variations > Create New Product Variation
(use the header file name/attribute name in both "name" and "varying attribute name", then save and exit)
Now do a fresh export/import and you should be well on your way!
