MAGMI: Do not overwrite value without using Import Limiter - magento

I am using the MAGMI sku finder to map one of my columns to the SKU. The column I am mapping is called ordernumber.
This works fine, the only problem is that when I import products now, it overwrites the ordernumber as well.
I can not use the MAGMI import limiter and exclude the ordernumber becasue it is used as the mandatory SKU. Is there any other way to NOT import the ordernumber column, but the rest?
Thanks!

If you import new product you can use the "create new items only, skip new once" when start importing.
Otherwise you can just remove "ordernumber" column form product import csv.

Magento Magmi Categories Import only

I am trying to import/update categories using the module being developed for magento MAGMI, i have made my custom category csv file with columns:
Categories
ttf1
ttf2
2 and 3 are custom attributes, What i want to do is to update the categories different customly added attributes using csv file. And i get an error:
String could not be parsed as XML
I thought my csv is not working perfectly, so i exported products csv from magento backend and try to import it, and it gives the same error. I need to import categories via MAGMI, i don't need to include any product data in csv. Will this work?
if you want only import categories, you can create in MAGENTO (or via MAGMI) the product "test" with sku "0000" and import via MAGMI csv-file like:
"sku","categories"
"0000","NewCategory1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub2"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub3"
"0000","DeleteThisCategory"
in the end don't forget delete/disable the "test" product and "DeleteThisCategory" category.
Magmi does not import categories only, it is able to create categories on the fly during item import that's a big difference. IE : magmi imports ITEMS and can auto create categories for ITEMS being imported.
If you want to import categories, use another magento plugin.

magento import export csv error sku

I had problem so i had to re install my whole magento site and i exported my products in csv with two method.
With Import and With Dataflow - Profiles.
I recreated the categories and i try to import the files but it gives error for every single product.
"Skipping import row, required field "sku" is not defined."
I don't know how could i fix because i have sku for every item.
I tried also the same two method to import.
I didnt work out.
Thank you for the help.
I had this same problem today.
There is a setting on both import and export called:
Original Magento attribute names in first row: Yes/No
This puts the column name on the top row of the CSV.
When exporting the data I had this set to NO, but when importing I had it set to YES. The solution for me was to have both set to YES.
Hope that helps.

Magento - How to set Super Product sort order on import

I am importing simple and configurable products using the magento Import. When associated products (super products) are imported the order is set to what appears to be alphabetical order based on the attribute name. The order of these can be changed in admin by dragging the attributes. It appears the order is kept in the catalog_product_super_attribute table in the ‘position’ column. But, so far I’ve found no way to import this order.
Is there are parameter I can add to the CSV file to import this value.

Magmi import doesn't remove the products

I have been using Magmi to import products by adding items to the file " export_all_products.csv" without any problems
But when I have products that need to be remove,what I did was by removing the whole row in that product line in the csv file and upload it using magmi, but the products that I want to delete is still there and sometimes duplicated, is there a way to get it done or can I empty some tables in the database in phpmyadmin before I do the import?
Thanks so much
You need to use the Product Deleter plugin to delete products with Magmi.
Use the column name magmi:delete with the value of 1 on the rows you want removed from Magento.
Example CSV:
"sku","magmi:delete"
"00001","1"
"00004","1"

magento import unique key

when exporting and importing data in Magento via import/export profile, products are not being updated. We selected only mapped fields. I have some idea. But am unsure.
When you export and import, do you use the same profile? (or does the standard import function understand and import the mapped fields)
What does Magento use as the INDEX to update the correct record. We are updating SKU, but maybe this is used as key?
Thanks, appreciate the help
SKU is unique for every product. As imported product does not have id so magento can not understand that you are updating product if SKU is changed.
