Trouble Adding New Parent SKU With Variations

Hey heyy,

I’m struggling to add some new products with variations in SellerCentral. Here is a run through what I have been doing…

  • I create a product that does not exist on Amazon
  • I follow all the necessary steps in Seller Central to create the Parent,
  • I fill in the details for the variations (including product ID (EAN))
  • I click save and finish and wait a little while for it to appear in my inventory
  • Each time the parent and variations appear but they aren’t linked together in the usual
    Parent&Variation way - they’re just separate listings

What should be the Parent SKU say “incomplete” but when I click to edit it says " * This SKU has an inconsistent product classification with the ASIN. Please submit a feed to update this SKU to match the ASIN product classification."

The Variation SKU’s appear as drafts which I was able to complete successfully, and they are now active listings but all separated from one another

I’ve tried to delete the parent SKU and link the child SKU’s to a new parent SKU via upload, which I am waiting to see if it’s worked but I don’t have much faith haha :frowning:

I’m guessing there is something I’m doing wrong at the start but I’m not sure what - pls help!

Thank youuuu,
Samir

Hi Samir

Try using the variation wizard, it will help you link them together or provide a report to why they are not linking.

Hello @Kavendor1!

Did you have a chance to take a look at Help Pages covering Parent-child relationships creation and Variation Wizard mentioned by @JR_Wristbands? I think they are a really good read as creating variations can seem complicated, especially at the beginning.

Of course, if even after going through those pages you still encounter issues, do not hesitate to let us know.

Regards,
Maja
