Hi..any update on this?

[szufisher]

I am having the same error message when uploading sales order with only required columns moment ago,
per the web browser console error log, one of the field as key is passed to the Python init() method is none which caused the failure, to be more specific, for uploading records from child table, at least two columns should be kept, on row 14 one field specify the child table doc type, and the other define the field name(child table) in the master table, for my sales order case, I removed the original column N, which caused the items field (key) missing.
column M column N
row 14 Sales Order Item items

if the above solution is confirmed OK, would like to suggest add one more note into the import template as following
if you are uploading child table records, at least two columns which defines the child table doc type and field name in master table on row 14 should be kept

Hi, I had the same problem, and I kept all columns and the error was gone. @szufisher was right.

Hi, I just got the same error when trying to upload a price in my Standard Selling Price List. This is the list I am trying to upload. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anybody give me a hint?

I am getting the same issue. I am currently using: erpnext 10.1.23 and frappe 10.1.23.

It seems to me that the item_code with type Link is causing the issue.

I had trouble with this too, and new Journal Entries. When I added an additional column "accounts" (as shown) it worked...

Seems like an old issue.

We have new Data Import now
