Is this the build in CSV importer?
The Parent column (AG) of the variations needs to have an SKU or ID value for the variable product or the importer doesn’t know what it is a variable of.

Hi seank123
yes – its the build in CSV importer.
Ok – i thought the SKU will be given by the plugin i mentioned.
Its called “WooCommerce Product SKU Generator”
Am i wrong?

Never used that plugin – but looking at the description it looks like it works when you save products in Admin – there’s no mention of imports.
But in order to import new products with the importer you will need to give the main product a SKU (or ID) and use that in the Parent field of the variables otherwise it won;t work. Looks like you can then use this plugin to generate the Variation SKUs once the products are successfully imported (‘How do I add SKUs to old products?’ question at the bottom of the description)
Hello @alauer,
Let us know if adding a SKU to the parent product addressed the variations import problem you described above.
Hopefully @seank123’s answer will get you sorted:

Hi there,
Since we haven’t heard back in a while, I’m going to mark this thread as “resolved”. Please feel free to create a new thread if you still aren’t able to get this to work after adding the parent product SKU’s when importing.
Thanks!
