To get access to this tool, you need to have a standardized product feed. If you can't see the menu alternative Feeds in Business Center - Contact us
If we encounter a problem reading any of your feeds, you can access the validation report, to help debug.

Interpret the validation report
The validation report is divided into two parts. The first part, Error overview, shows a summary of the validation.

The second part shows a table with information on what attributes the error occurs on.

To see examples pf offers with issues in the feed, you can click the Download report button at the bottom of the table. It generates a report that will contain up to 100 example IDs for each error/warning type.
Some more in-depth explanation of Error code and Consequence
Error code
Missing - A given value is missing
Invalid - The values do not follow our guidelines
Unknown - We can't recognize the value, it doesn't follow our guidelines
Consequence
Depending on the error there are a number of different consequences
For Critical, the offer will always get excluded from our reading (our ingestion of the feed)
For Warning, the affected data for the specific offer and attribute will get excluded. E.g - if a GTIN code or image is missing from an offer, it could mean that it would take more time to match your offer to our product (Longer indexing time)
