Avoid SKU in CSV Upload?

[deansmitty]

Is there a way I can avoid SKUs when uploading a csv file? My CSV files contain thousands of products and don't have an SKU.

Are you trying to upload brand new items, or are you trying to update existing items in your store? 

If you're adding new items, then you're going to have to create a sku, even if it's just a concatenated item field.

just set sku as not required from attributes. Catalog >> Attributes >> Manage Attributes 
Search SKU and set "Values Required" as no.

Thanks, I set the attribute SKU to not required, however when I try to reupload the CSV file it shows the error still.
