Magmi configurable \ simple link?

Question

Can anyone show me how to link the simple product to the configurable? I've tried to directly export and import using magmi but it becomes unlinked after imported. I can not find any info on it in here. there are post relating to it, but none of them really explains how. Thank you in advance!

before importing, you have to make sure that the attribute that varies in the simple product exists and is properly configured. Please make sure of this. — sulabh, Mar 20 '12 at 05:47

Here is an (partial) example - usual required fields still required too:

sku     type         size   configurable_attributes name
RT44508 simple       8                              Womens Dress
RT44510 simple       10                             Womens Dress
RT445   configurable        size                    Womens Dress

So you have the simple items first, then the 'parent' configurable one.
The sku of the simple items begins with the sku of the conifugurable.
The attribute that is being used to configure them is in the configurable_attributes column
That attributes value for simple items is in a column with that attributes code as it's name.

Does that help?

The documentation mentioned in another answer is good too.

The second option for the plugin caters for that case @Bhupendra - just make sure your simples are before their configurables in the data set — scrowler, May 19 '15 at 06:24
