Updating RAM Category Data by Import
When updating RAM category data by import, each packaging component can have three columns:
- The packaging weight in grams
- The material type ID
- The RAM category ID
For example, for Cap & Dropper, the import column name is:
cap_dropper_grams
To update the full packaging information for Cap & Dropper, your import file can include these columns:
| Column Name | What It Updates | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| cap_dropper_grams | Weight in grams | 5 |
| cap_dropper_grams_mat_type | Material category ID | 2 |
| cap_dropper_grams_ram | RAM category ID | 1 |
In this example:
- 5 is the packaging weight in grams
- 2 means Material Category ID 2
- 1 means RAM Category ID 1, which is Green
Important: Material Type Columns
For material type, always add:
_mat_type
to the end of the packaging column name.
For example:
cap_dropper_grams_mat_type
Do not use:
cap_dropper_grams_ram_type
_ram_type will not update the material type.
Important: RAM Category Columns
For RAM category, always add:
_ram
to the end of the packaging column name.
For example:
cap_dropper_grams_ram
Do not use:
cap_dropper_grams_ram_category
or:
cap_dropper_grams_ram_id
Example Import Columns
A simple import file could look like this:
| sku | cap_dropper_grams | cap_dropper_grams_mat_type | cap_dropper_grams_ram |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE-SKU-001 | 5 | 2 | 1 |
This would update the product so that:
- Cap & Dropper weight is 5 grams
- Material type is ID 2
- RAM category is ID 1
