How to set SKU mapping rules?

copy_url_title

Products can be matched to the same merchant SKU by ignoring some prefixes and suffixes by setting SKU Mapping Rules. And when you add mapping for a new store SKU, it will map with the merchant SKU that mapped with the same old store SKU.


Step 1: go to setting > Inventory Settings > SKU Mapping Rules > Set the mapping rule





1. Ignore Prefix:
  • SKU: AAQ-03 > Ignore Prefix "A" > AQ-03
  • SKU: AAQ-03 > Ignore First "2" characters > Q-03

2. Ignore Suffix
  • SKU: AAQ-03 > Ignore Suffix "-03" > AAQ
  • SKU: AAQ-03 > Ignore Last "1" characters > AAQ-0

3. When Ignore Prefix/Suffix is selected, you can also:
  • Input the fixed delimiter (e.g. &)
  • Set which occurrence of the delimiter to use (e.g. 1st, 2nd, etc.)


 
Example:
Original string: Red&001&xxs&Shopee
Fixed delimiter: &
Use the 1st delimiter.

If Ignore Suffix is selected:

Starting from the right, find the 1st delimiter (&) → after xxs
→ Remove everything after that
→ Result: Red&001&xxs

If Ignore Prefix is selected:

Starting from the left, find the 1st delimiter (&) → after Red
→ Remove everything before that
→ Result: 001&xxs&Shopee

4. Ignore Characters:
  • SKU: AQBQABHEAB4 > Ignore "AB" > AQBQHE4
  • SKU: AQBQABHEAB4 > Ignore "AB" and "HE" > AQBQ4
5. Replace Characters
  • SKU: AAQ-03 > Replace "AQ" with"BE" > ABE-03
Set one rule of the four above, BigSeller will automatically ignore the spaces before and after the SKU for mapping;The unmapped store SKUs will be ignored or replaced according to the mapping rules, and then automatically mapped with the merchant SKUs (not case sensitive).

5. Test rules: you can test the rule by entering a store SKU.



6. Change Log:
You could check the change history here.



Step 2: Save the Setting




Step 3:
If you created a new store SKU which is the same as other store SKUs, you can enable this icon to map with the same merchant SKU.

When you add mapping for a new store SKU, it will map with the merchant SKU that mapped with the same old store SKU.
For example:
  • Store A, store SKU: SKU001 is mapped with merchant SKU: ABCD
  • Store B, store SKU: SKU001, then also map with merchant SKU: ABCD



After enabling these rules, you can auto map SKUs on the SKU Mapping list.
