Myntra size chart validation errors usually occur when measurements are missing, entered in the wrong unit, mapped to the wrong size, arranged in an invalid order, or inconsistent with the selected article type. A catalogue may contain correct images and descriptions but still fail validation when size information does not follow the required category structure.

Accurate sizing is especially important for fashion, footwear, innerwear, kidswear, accessories, and selected home products. Incorrect measurements can lead to catalogue rejection, customer confusion, size-related returns, negative ratings, and repeated quality-check failures.

This guide explains how to prepare, validate, and upload Myntra size charts. It covers garment measurements, body measurements, unit conversion, ascending-order errors, size mapping, footwear length, kidswear age groups, bulk-upload checks, and common correction workflows.

Myntra may update templates, mandatory fields, accepted values, and article-type rules. Sellers should use the current DIY Cataloguing screen, Partner University guidance, support communication, or category template available in their Partner Portal as the final source for the exact upload format.

What Is Myntra Size Chart Validation?

Size chart validation checks whether the measurement information submitted for a product is complete, logically ordered, correctly formatted, and suitable for the selected article type and size variation.

The system may validate:

  • Required measurement fields
  • Size labels
  • Measurement units
  • Numeric format
  • Minimum and maximum values
  • Ascending measurement order
  • Age and size relationships
  • Variation mapping
  • Article-type relevance
  • Consistency across all SKUs in a style

Why Accurate Size Charts Matter

  • They help customers select the correct size
  • They reduce size-related returns and exchanges
  • They improve product-page clarity
  • They support catalogue quality checks
  • They prevent incorrect size variation mapping
  • They improve consistency across colours and styles
  • They help customer support resolve sizing questions

Garment Measurements vs Body Measurements

Measurement type Meaning Example
Garment measurement Measurement taken from the finished product Actual shirt chest, top length, sleeve length
Body measurement Customer body range intended to fit the product To fit chest, to fit waist, to fit bust
Foot measurement Customer foot length or related fit measurement Foot length for footwear sizing
Product dimension Physical size of an accessory or non-wearable article Belt length, bag dimensions, mat size

Do not mix garment measurements with body-fit measurements. For example, a garment chest measurement is usually larger than the body chest it is designed to fit because the product may include ease.

Common Myntra Size Chart Fields

The required fields depend on category and article type. Examples may include:

  • Across shoulder
  • Bust
  • Chest
  • To fit bust
  • To fit chest
  • Waist
  • To fit waist
  • Hip
  • To fit hip
  • Front length
  • Top length
  • Bottom length
  • Sleeve length
  • Inseam length
  • Outseam length
  • Rise
  • Foot length
  • Heel height
  • Belt length
  • Age group

Only use fields that apply to the selected article type and current template. Do not force unrelated values into mandatory-looking columns without checking the category rule.

Correct Size Chart Preparation Workflow

Step 1: Confirm the Article Type

The article type controls the relevant attributes and measurements. Verify whether the product is a shirt, top, kurta, dress, trousers, jeans, night suit, footwear, bra, belt, or another category before preparing the chart.

Step 2: Collect Physical Samples

Measure actual production samples rather than relying only on estimated patterns or supplier descriptions.

Step 3: Define the Measurement Method

Create a standard measurement guide for the team. For example:

  • Chest measured flat from underarm to underarm, then doubled where required
  • Shoulder measured seam to seam
  • Top length measured from high shoulder point to hem
  • Sleeve measured from shoulder seam to cuff
  • Inseam measured from crotch seam to bottom hem
  • Foot length measured heel to longest toe

The method must match the field definition expected in the current Myntra workflow.

Step 4: Select One Unit System

Use the unit requested by the template. Do not mix inches and centimetres inside one measurement column.

Step 5: Map Every SKU to the Correct Size

Each seller SKU, barcode, colour, and size variation should map to the correct chart row.

Step 6: Check Ascending Order

When sizes progress from smaller to larger, applicable body-fit and garment measurements should normally increase or remain logically consistent.

Step 7: Validate Before Upload

Check all values, units, decimal formatting, size labels, and variation relationships before submitting the file.

Understanding the Ascending Order Validation Error

A common message states that measurement attributes should be filled in ascending order. This usually means that a larger size contains a smaller value than the preceding size for an attribute that is expected to increase.

Size To fit waist Validation result
S 28 Valid starting value
M 30 Valid increase
L 32 Valid increase
XL 31 Likely error because the value decreased

How to Correct It

  1. Sort rows in the actual size sequence.
  2. Verify the physical sample measurement for every size.
  3. Check whether inches and centimetres were mixed.
  4. Check whether two size rows were swapped.
  5. Check whether a body-fit value was entered in a garment-measurement field.
  6. Correct the inaccurate value using verified source data.
  7. Re-upload and review the processing result.

Do not simply increase a number to pass validation. The corrected value must match the product.

Inches and Centimetres Conversion

Use the conversion:

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres

Inches Centimetres
1025.4
2050.8
2460.96
2871.12
3076.2
3281.28
3486.36
3691.44
40101.6

Conversion Mistakes to Avoid

  • Entering centimetres in an inches column
  • Rounding every value too aggressively
  • Using different rounding rules across sizes
  • Converting an already converted value again
  • Copying the same value into both unit columns without conversion
  • Use plain numeric values unless the template requests text
  • Do not include unit labels such as cm or inch inside numeric cells
  • Avoid special symbols
  • Use a consistent decimal format
  • Do not use ranges unless the field accepts ranges
  • Do not use commas as thousands separators in measurement cells
  • Avoid formulas in the final upload file unless supported

Size Label and Variation Mapping

The size chart row must match the variation size shown to the customer.

Common errors include:

  • SKU labelled M but mapped to L measurements
  • Age group 9-12 months mapped to a 12-24 months chart row
  • UK footwear size mapped to an incorrect foot length
  • One colour variant missing a size-chart relationship
  • Size labels written differently across files
  • Free size products uploaded with multiple conflicting measurements

Kidswear Size Chart Validation

Kidswear sizing may use age groups, numeric sizes, height ranges, or a combination of labels.

Check:

  • Age sequence is correct
  • Measurements increase logically
  • Top and bottom measurements belong to the same set
  • Size labels match the SKU variation
  • Chest, waist, inseam, and length values are not interchanged
  • Measurements reflect the product rather than only the child's age
Example size sequence Validation check
9-12 M Should normally precede 12-24 M
12-24 M Should normally precede 2-3 Y
2-3 Y Measurements should be checked against the next age group
3-4 Y Should not contain smaller values without a verified design reason

Footwear Size Chart Validation

Footwear catalogues may require UK, US, EU, or other size labels and a related foot-length measurement.

Validate:

  • Size system
  • Gender or age group
  • Foot length
  • Inner length where required
  • Heel height
  • Width or fit information where applicable
  • Left and right pair consistency

Do not use a generic internet conversion chart without checking the actual product last and fit.

Innerwear and Body-Fit Products

Innerwear, shapewear, swimwear, and fitted products may use specialized size fields.

Review:

  • Bust or chest range
  • Underbust
  • Cup size
  • Waist and hip range
  • Stretch characteristics
  • Product-specific fit notes

Use the exact category template and avoid converting specialized sizes into general clothing sizes without approval.

Common Myntra Size Chart Errors and Solutions

Error Likely cause Recommended solution
Measurement not in ascending order Larger size contains a smaller value Verify row order, unit, and physical measurement
Mandatory measurement missing Required field is blank Enter the verified value requested for the article type
Invalid numeric value Text, symbol, range, or unsupported decimal format Use the accepted numeric format
Size chart does not match variation Incorrect SKU-to-size mapping Map each SKU to the correct size row
Measurement outside accepted range Unit mismatch or data-entry error Check inches vs centimetres and remeasure
Duplicate size row Same size submitted more than once Remove duplicate or correct the intended label
Incorrect size sequence Alphabetical or age order is wrong Arrange rows in the required commercial size sequence
Existing SKU measurement conflict New chart differs from an existing mapped SKU Verify the correct product version and request support if necessary
Wrong article type fields Incorrect category or template selected Use the correct article type and size-chart structure

Existing SKU Measurement Conflict

A validation message may indicate that measurements should be checked against already existing SKUs of the product. This can happen when a style or variation family already contains approved size data and the new SKU introduces inconsistent values.

Correction Workflow

  1. Identify all existing SKUs in the style.
  2. Download or record the currently approved size chart.
  3. Compare the new SKU's size label and measurements.
  4. Check whether the product design or fit has genuinely changed.
  5. Use consistent measurements when the product is the same.
  6. Keep a separate style or catalogue relationship when the fit is materially different and the platform workflow permits it.
  7. Raise a Partner Support ticket with evidence when approved data is incorrect or locked.

Bulk Upload Format Checklist

  • Use the latest category template
  • Do not rename sheets
  • Do not remove mandatory columns
  • Do not change header names
  • Preserve the supported file format
  • Use one unit per measurement column
  • Use consistent size labels
  • Validate numeric cells
  • Check SKU and barcode mapping
  • Review all rows before upload
  • Download the processing report
  • Correct only failed rows

Excel Validation Rules for Internal Use

Before uploading, teams can create internal spreadsheet controls.

  • Highlight blank mandatory cells
  • Flag non-numeric characters
  • Compare each size with the previous size
  • Flag repeated SKU or barcode values
  • Validate allowed size labels
  • Check conversion differences between inches and centimetres
  • Flag extreme measurement changes
  • Compare related colour variants

Internal spreadsheet checks do not replace Myntra's live validation, but they can reduce avoidable upload failures.

Measurement Quality-Control Process

First-Level Check

The person measuring the product records the values and measurement method.

Second-Level Check

A separate reviewer rechecks a sample and compares sizes in sequence.

Catalogue Check

The catalogue team maps the measurements to the correct SKU, article type, and variation.

Upload Check

The processing report is reviewed for row-level success and failure.

Live-Page Check

The approved product page is checked to confirm that the size chart is readable and mapped correctly.

  • Use accurate physical measurements
  • Explain whether values are body or garment measurements
  • Use a consistent fit description
  • Show model measurements where allowed and useful
  • Add product-specific fit notes
  • Review return reasons by article and size
  • Correct recurring size-chart problems
  • Keep charts consistent across colour variants
  • Update charts when product patterns change

Daily Catalogue Checklist

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does Myntra show an ascending-order validation error?

The system may have found that a larger size contains a smaller value than the preceding size for a measurement expected to increase.

2. Should Myntra size charts use inches or centimetres?

Use the unit requested by the current article-type template or cataloguing screen. Do not mix units in one column.

3. What is the difference between chest and to fit chest?

Chest may refer to the garment measurement, while to fit chest normally refers to the customer's body measurement range. Confirm the field definition in the template.

4. Can I use the same size chart for every product?

No. Use the same chart only when the products have the same article type, pattern, fit, and verified measurements.

5. Why does the new SKU conflict with existing SKUs?

The style may already contain approved measurements that differ from the newly submitted values. Compare the complete variation family.

6. Can decimals be used?

Use the numeric and decimal format accepted by the current template. Keep the format consistent across all rows.

7. How should kidswear sizes be arranged?

Arrange age or commercial sizes in the required sequence and verify that applicable measurements progress logically.

8. Should flat chest measurements be doubled?

Only when the field definition requests full circumference. Follow the measurement method specified for the article type.

9. How do I correct a locked or already approved size chart?

Prepare the correct measurements and evidence, then use the available edit workflow or raise a Partner Support ticket.

10. Can DigiCommerce prepare a Myntra size chart file?

Yes. DigiCommerce can prepare size charts, convert units, validate measurement order, map SKUs, correct bulk files, and analyse upload errors.

Conclusion

Myntra size chart validation should be treated as a product-data and customer-experience process, not only as a file-upload task. The correct workflow is to select the right article type, measure actual products, separate garment and body measurements, use the requested unit, arrange sizes correctly, map each SKU, and review the processing result.

Most errors are caused by unit mismatch, missing values, incorrect row order, inconsistent size labels, wrong article-type fields, or conflict with existing SKU measurements. A verified master sheet and a two-level measurement check can prevent repeated catalogue rejection and reduce size-related returns.
