       $variation_post = array( // Setup the post data for the variation
   
                   'post_title'  => 'Variation product#'. $parent_id,
                   'post_name'   => 'product-'.$parent_id.'-variation-',
                   'post_status' => 'publish',
                   'post_parent' => $parent_id,
                   'post_type'   => 'product_variation',
                   'guid'        => home_url() . '/?product_variation=product-' . $parent_id . '-variation-'
               );
