 * Does this feature actually work as it appears that when i click on the tab it
   shows that i have 39000 products without SKUs but there is no titles for the 
   products in the title field and no listing status
 * Just loads of empty fields with the occasional sku for products that i have added
 * If i click on an empty field with no SKU or Title and then “bulk generate new
   SKUs”, there is a delay and then it just jumps to the inventory tab (odd), and
   doesnt create an SKU for the unknown product(unknown because there is no title)
 * This also happens if i search for a title, it just jumps to the inventory tab
 * Widows 10

 * Hello albertramsbottom.
 * Yes, this feature works. I just tested it myself again and it worked perfectly.
   We also haven’t had any users contact us about the generator not working. I suspect
   there is some issue with the server generating that much data as you have _several
   more_ products than we recommend using. 39,000 is quite a lot of listings and
   we don’t recommend users to use more than 10,000 +/- some depending on server
   configuration.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * Hi
 * Thanks for that.
    I have a couple of comments, one i dont understand why the 
   titles are not appearing for any listings? using the SKU generator?
 * Also 30000 listings are actually only 919 items with 260 t-shirts with 65 variations
   each so I dont think that is a great deal of listings. I suspect that in the 
   future we will have 100s of thousands!
 * So what i have done is download WooCommerce Product SKU Generator, which works
   great
 * I listed a product with variations on Amazon just fine but during an update I
   accidentally re-positioned one of the attributes below another in the edit product
   screen. I.e. I had size and the colour and accidentally dragged colour ended 
   up with colour and then size.
 * The SKU generator works by appending these attributes with SKU in order they 
   are set in the edit product page.
 * I updated Amazon and it stated that it had done with warnings for all 66 variations:
 * > The child SKU (‘MTSFOTLPW354-large-burgandy’) could not be added to parent 
   > SKU (‘MTSFOTLPW354’) because another SKU (‘MTSFOTLPW354-burgandy-large’) has
   > the same variation attributes ([“size_name”,”color_name”]) and is already associated
   > with the parent SKU.
 * I guessed what had happened and re-ordered them so the product variation SKUs
   matched those in Amazon, i.e.colour-size, rather than as above size-colour, but
   I am still getting the same error
 * Could it be that your Amazon plugin gets its SKU’s from its own table rather 
   than the woocommerce product table? As I cannot for the life of me get this to
   update, whatever I see in the woocommerce product edit screen or for that matter
   in the WP-lister, listings page???
 * Every sku matches, in Amazon inventory (MTSFOTLPW354-burgandy-large), in woocommerce
   products page ( andMTSFOTLPW354-burgandy-large) in the Amazon listings page (
   MTSFOTLPW354-burgandy-large)
 * But it still throws the warning above
 * And yes burgandy is spelt wrong but matched the way I originally spelt it 🙂
 * sorry

 * Hello albertramsbottom.
 * _I have a couple of comments, one i dont understand why the titles are not appearing
   for any listings? using the SKU generator?_
 * In order to be able to say anything about this we would need to examine it on
   your site. So you would need to open a ticket about this so we can examine it.
 * _Also 30000 listings are actually only 919 items with 260 t-shirts with 65 variations
   each so I dont think that is a great deal of listings. I suspect that in the 
   future we will have 100s of thousands!_
 * Variations count as a listing, so yes, that would still be 30,000 listings. If
   you are planning on having that many listings you really should look for another
   solution. That is far too many listings for WP-Lister.
 * _Could it be that your Amazon plugin gets its SKU’s from its own table rather
   than the woocommerce product table? As I cannot for the life of me get this to
   update, whatever I see in the woocommerce product edit screen or for that matter
   in the WP-lister, listings page???_
 * No, that wouldn’t be it because WP-Lister does pull the SKU from the WC product’s
   SKU field.
 * I would likely be able to say more about this if I could examine the feed by 
   you sending me the feed URL and login credentials to examine the listing profile
   settings. So I would advise you to open a new ticket for this issue as well so
   I can have a look.
 * Kind regards,
    John
