A_VARIANTDATA

If more than one article is transferred for a product (variants), at least one variant feature and its values need to be specified. All variants of a product necessarily have the same variant dimensions. If variants are transmitted, the information about the respective dimensions must contain a value for every article of the product. Regardless of the import settings, the information on the variant dimensions must always be complete.

ATTENTION:
If you provide variant dimensions via import, you must deliver ALL dimensions. Previously created variant dimensions that are no longer included are deleted.
