Opening the workspace without exposing workbook contents.
Manual repair gives the seller complete control and requires no additional software. It also requires the seller to locate the right sheet, header, SKU, attribute, and permitted value, then prove that unrelated cells were not changed. SKUFix automates that repetitive evidence work while preserving seller control over uncertain values.
Upload the XLSX and optional report.
Open the workbook, interpret the report, and locate each issue.
Manual work has no tool setup but more investigative setup.
Runs the same deterministic checks for every file.
Depends on the operator's checklist and attention.
Automation is strongest where the same checks repeat.
Requests seller input when the correct fact cannot be derived.
The operator makes every decision directly.
Both preserve seller control when used carefully.
Reopens the output and checks intended and unintended cell changes.
Requires a manual before-and-after review.
Verification is often the most overlooked manual step.
Uses private storage with a 24-hour deletion window.
Can stay entirely on the seller's device.
Local-only work remains the strictest data-boundary option.
Download the processing report from the same upload, preserve an untouched copy of the workbook, and work only in a duplicate. Confirm the marketplace, product type, template version, data sheet, and header row before interpreting any column.
The cost is not only typing. It is repeated searching, cross-referencing, version checking, and regression review. A workbook with several findings per row can make the apparent decision count much larger than the number of product rows that actually need seller knowledge.
SKUFix groups unresolved findings by workbook row, selects safe changes, and keeps uncertain values visible. That reduces repetitive work without turning judgment into automation.
Use a local manual process when policy, contract, or sensitivity rules prohibit uploading the file. Manual work is also reasonable when the seller already knows the exact cell and correct value and can verify the change quickly.
Yes. Preserve the original, map the processing report carefully, use the current template rules, and verify every change before uploading again.
Changing a plausible value without enough evidence, or unintentionally altering unrelated cells while editing a large workbook.
No. It removes deterministic repetition and asks the seller only for values the file cannot safely determine.
