PRACTICAL GUIDE

Five checks before importing products

Do not measure filled fields alone. Check whether the data is usable.

Identity: do EAN, MPN and variant refer to the same product? Do not merge records solely by similar titles.
Types and units: width requires a numeric value and a defined unit. Convert only when the source unit is known.
Consistency: compare title, description and attributes. Conflicting values need review.
Evidence: retain source and date where feasible. Distinguish written copy from supported specifications.
Delivery: test a sample in a controlled environment. Block conflicting fields and retain the original for recovery.

These checks help prepare the work; they do not replace category-specific rules.
