Hi

 

My question is relativly simple, is it possible to define our own variantID's on import, say i wanted to use the productnumber as variantID, could i do that in the mapping etc.? and if i could, would it conflict with other things in the solution if i did?

 

I can see the field variantID isn't an identity field, so my guess is that i can, but i just want confirmation on this thanks.

Using a product number as variant id doesn't really make any sense, does it? VariantID contains a value indicating what variations of features this product has, e.g. specific color, size or some combination of these.

 

If you just need to create a relation between variants of the same product, you could create a new relation group called "Variants" and then add relations between the products on import. This can also be used for creating relations between "same series products".
