Import size indexes
Through this process, you can either add sizes and size indexes for articles of the selected catalog or update existing size indexes while keeping sizes as they are.
Notes:
- If the Size Scale option is activated for the catalog, size indexes cannot be imported and the Import button is not available.
- You can import size indexes for master catalogs and inherited catalogs which have the “Independent Sizes” option activated.
- For inherited catalogs, Sort order and UPC are copied from the master catalog instead of being imported.
- The system creates a change request for each size index imported for a locked article.
- If the “External Change Management” flag is activated and at least one article is locked, you cannot import sizes and the following message appears when you click the Import button:

This flag and the link in the message are all managed by the Trasix Support team.
To import a file with size indexes, you can use the same file format for importing sizes, noting that for existing article sizes, you should keep sizes unchanged to update only size indexes.
Articles should be listed in an Excel sheet with the following columns: Article number, size, size index, UPC (optional), and sort order as shown in the below example:

As mentioned before, sizes and size indexes should be unique for each article, so the article number is repeated for each size.
To import a file with size indexes, follow these steps:
- Click the Import button, the following window appears:
