Importing Products with variants, including internal reference and barcode PER variant.

Question

We are working with Odoo.sh and Version 13
We have successfully tested and imported products with variants (name, image, description, price, size and color etc.), no problem.
That said, we haven't managed to figure out *how to import variants, and include the internal reference and barcode for  each of the variants  successfully.*
As a retailer, with purchases two times per year for seasonal orders, and thousands of variants, barcodes and internal reference (SKU's) - this becomes quite important

Hi Troy:
A quick way to do this would be to do the following to update the Internal Reference and Barcode fields after the variants are created through your current loading process:
Go to *Inventory > Master Data > Product Variants*​
Select and export all the variants to an importable csv file. Export only the External Id, Name, Internal Reference and Barcode fields. The Name field is for verification purpose only so you know which product variant you are referencing in each record.
Update the v

Worked like a charm - definitely can get the job accomplished using this method.
I presume there is no way to do this at the time of the original import?
This does work, just adds an additional step lining up the appropriate info for a two-thousand variants.
Thanks so much Paresh for the details - much appreciated, and will work with this technique.

Hi T.A. Geldart
We're facing the same problem. As we are a retailer too - with two times a year of new collections in Store. We found a solution with an import module made by globalteckz. Please contact abraar@globalteckz.com - and refer to the SOL-ID.ch project - the import module they made for us.
With this module we are able to import variants with barcode in one step.
Best Regards.
Simon
