Issues with import

I've been trying to test an import with a few test parts. The headers of my CSV look like this:

I've selected the data fields for Distributors under System Preferences but they won't show up in the Import fields.

Maybe I do not understand how to work this. Is there a guide that can help me? Using version 1.2.0.

1. The system preferences for parts have nothing to do with the import, it just defines which fields are required when entering new part data

2. There seems to be a bug that m:n relations aren't being displayed, I'll have a look into it

I found and fixed the bug; you can check it out in the latest GIT version or wait until the next version is being released.

I tried this and I'm still not able to do it. I cannot see where I can enter distributor names, their part numbers, manufacturer names and currency. I'm not able to map these fields to the fields that show on the left since I cannot find them in the list. The import does not list an error now but neither does the part show.

[Drachenkaetzchen]

Have you properly updated from GIT? The demo site shows the associations for distributor's name, currency and orderNumber:

I know that configuring the importer correctly is complex, but I currently don't have the spare time to prepare a documentation for that.

I did the whole setup again on a different server and it doesn't show.

[Drachenkaetzchen]

Which version did you install?

[Drachenkaetzchen]

Hmm, the git revision looks OK to me. Can you make a screenshot when you scroll down the field list in the importer?

[Drachenkaetzchen]

This is very odd - can you double-check if the field mappings appear when you are using the demo system?

[classbproject]

Yes they do but only after I opened it in an incognito window. I guess its cached somewhere. I then opened my installation in an incognito window but no joy :(

[Drachenkaetzchen]

Well to be honest, I've seen such a behavior in the past, where some associations disappear without any clear reason. I thought at first that in your case the GIT version was old or that this might be a browser issue, but I guess the issue is back.

Note for myself: Seems that I need to refactor storage of m:n associations somehow, as it seems that ExtJS is not reliable in that regards.

I'm sorry that I can't provide an immediate fix :( . If you have ideas on how to reproduce or to narrow down the issue please let me know.

[classbproject]

:( Let me try to reinstall this on a separate server again. The last time I installed it the installation took a while but this time when I installed from git I just breezed through it. Not sure if there was something that I did there which may be causing this. Once I get this working and manage to successfully import a few part numbers, I can help you write the documentation for that.

Hi, Regarding this topic, I'm having problems to do some imports. Particularly I'm having some problems when trying to import parts with a Distributor or Manufacturer. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I cannot manage to properly import Manufacturer or/and Distributor.

This is the .CSV file I'm trying to import:

Cust Part Number,Type,Description,Manufacturer 1,Manufacturer Part Number 1,Manufacturer 2,Manufacturer Part Number 2,Footprint,Cod. RS,Cod. Digikey,Cod. Farnell
URISEC0001,CAPACITOR,Cap Ceramic 1uF 10V X5R 10% 0603,KEMET,C0603C105K8PACTU,,,,461-2708 ,,
URISEC0002,CAPACITOR,Cap Ceramic 100nF 16V X7R 10% 0603,KEMET,C0603C104K4RACTU,,,,264-4630,,

There are two components.

This is the steps I have follow (in demo.partkeepr.org):

1. Open import dialog

2. Upload the CSV file: Parts are loaded correctly no issue there.

3. I do select partPartKeeprPartBundleEntityPartManufacturers, select "Create new item" and then enter partNumber as "Copy content from:" (image attached)

4. Select manufacturer "directory" and then the option to "Match import data with existing data using:". Then I select the manufacturer name match field with the Import Field in my CSV. (image attached)

These produce no result neither in the preview section or importing.

May I doing something wrong? There is some documentation to import parts¿? I have not found it.

Thank you very much.

Best regards, Jaime.
