Hi Sergio,
The easier way to do this is to generate the UID prior to importing
everything. You can do this pretty easily with the system with the
following command

https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/system/uid?limit=3

Or they can be generated externally pretty easily. Here is some R code ,
but I am sure there are ways to do this in other languages as well.

generateUID<-function(codeSize=11){
  #Generate a random seed
  runif(1)
  allowedLetters<-c(LETTERS,letters)
  allowedChars<-c(LETTERS,letters,0:9)
  #First character must be a letter according to the DHIS2 spec
  firstChar<-sample(allowedLetters,1)
  otherChars<-sample(allowedChars,codeSize-1)

uid<-paste(c(firstChar,paste(otherChars,sep="",collapse="")),sep="",collapse="")
  return(uid)}

The last option is to post these level by level and get the UID which was
generated for the orgunit. The tricky part may be to get the first parent
ID, but once you have that, it should be pretty easy.

>From my experience however, generating these prior to importing them is
much easier and will allow you to edit things for instance, in your GIS
software and then import them into DHIS2.

Regards,
Jason
