Skipping import row, required field “sku” is not defined

Question

During article import of a custom import profile (Dataflow - Profiles) I get this error for all rows:

Skipping import row, required field "sku" is not defined.

I have mapped "sku" => "artnr" (Field Mapping) but it looks like he does not use this, even I have Original Magento attribute names in first row set to No.

If I rename the column in my csv file and set Original Magento attribute ... to Yes it works. (He complains about empty type instead)

Same problem with normal Import: "Can not find required columns: sku". I changed column name from artnr to sku and stored the file as utf8.

Columns look like this at the moment:

store;websites;attribute_set;type;category_ids;sku_wrong;has_options;name;weight;image;small_image;thumbnail;url_key;url_path;package_content;unit;sku;price;manufacturer;status;tax_class_id;visibility;gesamtrabatt;description;short_description;gift_message_available;qty;min_qty;use_config_min_qty;is_qty_decimal;backorders;use_config_backorders;min_sale_qty;use_config_min_sale_qty;max_sale_qty;use_config_max_sale_qty;is_in_stock;low_stock_date;notify_stock_qty;use_config_notify_stock_qty;manage_stock;use_config_manage_stock;stock_status_changed_automatically;use_config_qty_increments;qty_increments;use_config_enable_qty_increments;enable_qty_increments;product_name;store_id;product_type_id;product_status_changed;product_changed_websites

Answer 1

I did the following steps:

• convert to utf8
• remove empty "sku" column
• rename "artnr" to "sku"
• set column "type" to "simple" for all rows
• clear column "image" and "small_image": "?" => ""

And now the import tells me "Processed 100% 11/11 records", "Imported 11 records". All green, all good but the new products are not listed in the catalog.

I guess I am still missing some columns. If that does not help it would be worth a new question.

Answer 2

At least for the standard import, the column separator is comma: , - not semicolon.

Answer 3

PI, there is an attribute for products that make the product visible. I do not see it in your mapping, include it and you should be ok
