Overview

Error 90232 appears when a numeric field in a product feed contains more decimal places than Amazon’s catalog permits. The validation occurs during feed processing, causing the entire submission to be rejected. Sellers must correct the offending values quickly to keep listings, pricing, and inventory updates flowing.

Key Points

• Decimal‑place caps are strict — Amazon enforces a fixed maximum number of decimals for each numeric attribute; any entry that exceeds the limit is automatically rejected.
• Pricing and measurement fields are most vulnerable — Dimensions, weight, and price columns frequently trigger the error because manufacturers often provide data with high precision.
• The feed‑level check halts the whole file — If a single cell violates the rule, Amazon rejects the entire feed, not just the individual SKU.
• Error details are explicit — The processing report lists the attribute name, the submitted value, the count of decimals found, and the allowed maximum, making pinpointing the problem straightforward.

How to Fix Error 90232

1. Download the processing report — Open the feed summary, locate the row marked with error 90232, and note the attribute (e.g., “ItemWeight”) and the exact value (e.g., 2.12345).
2. Identify the allowed precision — The report shows the maximum decimals for that attribute; for weight it is typically two, for price it is also two.
3. Round or truncate the value — Adjust the offending number to fit the limit, such as changing 2.12345 to 2.12 or 3.14159 to 3.14, depending on the field’s requirement.
4. Update the source spreadsheet — Replace the original entry with the corrected figure, and apply the same rounding rule to any other cells in the same column that may contain excess decimals.
5. Validate the entire file — Run a quick spreadsheet scan or use a formula (e.g., =LEN(MID(A2,FIND(".",A2)+1,99))) to ensure no other numeric fields exceed their decimal caps.
