Good morning team!

I have encountered an error message regarding the Shipping Container Quantity, which I had never had to deal with before. The Gtin is 20071072094482.

Please, see screen shots attached. Thanks in advance!

Hello, @nancyVigo, it's great chatting with you again!

The Shipping Container Quantity Description is required. warning usually comes up when the Food and Beverage Products playlist is added to one of the base units of a hierarchy and the attribute itself is not. This warning can be rectified by either adding the attribute or by removing the Food and Beverage Products playlist, please.

When it comes to general considerations for playlists, the first option we recommend is a retailer-specific playlist. If as an example you plan on publishing an item to Kroger (API) and Wakefern, then the 2 playlists are sufficient and Food and Beverage Products does not need to be added. If the retailer you intend to publish to does not yet have a playlist added in Item Management, using product category playlists can be useful as a guideline to populate some of the more commonly used attributes for this type of product.

I hope this helps. We are here in case there is anything we can assist with, please. Thank you! 🙂

@Val, thanks for the prompt response!

I think I know what happened. I had to add the FSMA204 attributes to a customer and used the Food & Beverage playlist to unhide one of the attributes, which causes error messages.

I will check to make sure to take off that playlist and save the item again.

Have a great day! 🙂
