Overview

When uploading product data to Amazon Seller Central through inventory feeds, flat files, or API submissions, sellers may encounter error codes in the 6000 series. These errors relate to product data validation failures and indicate that Amazon's systems could not process one or more fields in your listing submission. Understanding what each code means is essential for quickly resolving feed issues and getting your products live.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Error 6000 (General Feed Error) - This is a catch-all error indicating that the feed submission could not be processed. It typically points to a formatting issue with the feed file itself, such as an incorrect template version or corrupted data structure.
• Error 6014 (Missing Required Field) - Your product submission is missing a required attribute for the selected product category. Amazon requires specific fields depending on the item type, and this error flags when mandatory data is absent.
• Error 6019 (Invalid Field Value) - A value you submitted does not match the accepted format or allowed values for that field. This commonly occurs with fields that require specific units of measurement, date formats, or predefined dropdown selections.
• Error 6021 (Category or Item Type Mismatch) - The product type or item classification you specified does not match the browse node or category path. This often happens when sellers use the wrong flat file template for their product type.
• Error 6024 / 6045 (ASIN or UPC Conflict) - These paired errors indicate that the product identifier (UPC, EAN, or GTIN) you submitted conflicts with an existing ASIN in Amazon's catalog, or that the ASIN data does not match your submission. Error 6045 specifically relates to cases where the product identifier is already associated with a different listing.
• Error 6039 (Image URL or Media Error) - The image URL provided in your feed is invalid, inaccessible, or does not meet Amazon's image requirements. This can occur when the image server is down, the URL is malformed, or the image does not meet minimum resolution standards.
• - There is a problem with the parent-child variation structure in your submission. This error arises when variation themes are incorrect, the parent ASIN does not exist, or child listings reference an invalid parent.
