Create multiple duplicates?

[intrapreneur]

Is there a way to create multiple duplicate products for use in other sections other than one by one using the "paste as duplicate" function?

[meden]

Nope... Not is SD2013 anyway

Filtering?

[intrapreneur]

Yes I have wondered about Filtering Jules. I am using SD14 with (mostly) SPP - will that be a problem?

[guccij]

Shouldn't be. We're on v14 and heavily filter using product variables.

If you're happy to roll up your sleeves up then you can use hierarchical imports to do this quite easily.

Is that using the 1!xxxxxx, 2!xxxxxx, etc naming convention for the Product Ref?

That's it in a nutshell.

If you create a few duplicates as samples, export your catalog, then open it in Excel you will see the file structure.

Look in the help about 'How Does Importing Work?' and have a read in that and other linked sections of the help.

Backup lots before and after you do anything.
