PUBLICATION ADD - COMPLETED WITH WARNINGS - Walmart

Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I’m looking for clarification and assistance on a recent publication that completed with warnings but is showing an error icon in my Worklist. Below are the publication details and the context around the issue:

Publication Details:
Load Sheet Used: FS_Publication
Operation: Add
Import Item: Yes
Item ID: 20199147109210 (Parent GTIN)
Market Groups: UNITED STATES
Published To: GLNs: 0078742000008 (Walmart US)
Market Group: UNITED STATES
Publication Type: New
Completion Timestamp: 05-Aug-2025 16:12:04
Status: Completed with Warnings


Backstory / Context
I had to correct some item hierarchy issues and previously withdrew publication for certain parent GTINs. After waiting the required 25 hours, I unlinked the incorrect child GTINs and re-linked the correct ones using an updated FS_Link sheet. Once the linkages were corrected, I attempted to republish the updated parent GTINs using only the FS_Publication sheet.

Errors / Warnings Received
202: Invalid Market Group (UNITED STATES)

  • I used "UNITED STATES" in the Market Group field. Should this be replaced with "US" or "US-WMT" for Walmart?

R01974: WARNING – 3 Product Images are recommended for Consumer Units - Understood
IM:1631: Brand Name is required in Marketing message - Understood

Questions
• Does the “Completed with Warnings” status mean the items are published and now waiting approval on Walmart's end?
• Does the error icon in the Worklist indicate an issue that will prevent items from going live?
• What is the correct Market Group value I should use for Walmart US?
• Are the warnings above strictly advisory, or must they be resolved to ensure full publication and data integrity?

Any clarification would be appreciated so I can ensure everything is compliant and visible to Walmart.

Hello @vsantiago and thank you for the follow-up and information provided.

GTIN 20199147109210 is currently not published to Walmart. After withdrawing a publication, we recommend waiting usually 1-2 hours (for different retailers it may be slightly more or slightly less). If the Withdrawal and (Re)Publication are within just minutes of themselves, one of the actions may not go through because the retailer's subscriptions run at set intervals - it's 15 minutes for Walmart for example - and one interval needs to pass before a different action can be applied than the initial one.

There is no update in the CIC Report because the hierarchy is currently not published to Walmart.

Can you please let you know where or for which attributes you populated the Market Group information? I was unable to locate it on both Case and Each. You already have the Target Market set as the United States and this will be sufficient, along with the Playlist, for the item to be received as intended.

After checking the Worklist, we can see the publication attempts are failing because of the messages pointed out by you as well. I also noticed you are using FUSE.

My recommendation is to set up one hierarchy for a retailer in the UI (in Item Management directly), amke sure it is published successfully and without any warnings, and then export the initial setup and use it as a template for which fields need to be filled out for any items for the same retailer.

A red icon in the Worklist means the action was not completed successfully (even though some of its intermediate steps may have been successful):

For Each 00196816620515 for example, when you Validate in Item Management you receive the 2 warnings below:

Val_P_1-1754500385262.png

You can add the Brand Name wherever it would logically make sense in the Marketing Message (as this is a requirement for Walmart) and it is also recommended to add 3 images before publishing. Once successfully validated, you can publish Case 20199147109210, then export the Case and Each and use these as a template for all other items you have for Walmart. Thanks!

Hello @vsantiago and welcome back to the Community.  Can you take a look at this post we created to help with Completed with Warnings, and let us know if you have any other questions?

Hi @CommunityJedi22 

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Unfortunately, your suggestions didn’t address the specific issues I’m encountering. I followed the steps to check both the Sync Status Report and the Recipient Responses (CIC) Report:

  • The Sync Status Report only reflects the publication withdrawal that occurred two days ago — not the recent resubmission.
  • The CIC report returns no records found, which, per your note, means I need to review the warnings — which brings me back to the original questions in my post.

To reiterate, I am trying to understand the following:

Specific Questions I Still Need Clarified:

  • Market Group Error – Code 202: I used "UNITED STATES" in the Market Group field. Is this invalid for Walmart? If so, what is the correct Market Group value — is it "US", "US-WMT", or something else?
  • Status "Completed with Warnings": Does this status confirm that my items were successfully published to Walmart and can now be viewed in Retail Link/Supplier One, or is additional action required?
  • Worklist Error Icon: Should I be concerned that an error icon still appears in my Worklist, even though the status says “Completed with Warnings”? Does this impact the item’s visibility or data quality score?
  • The warning about brand name missing in the marketing message — does this mean the brand must appear in the actual text (e.g., “This Team Beans toy…”), or just that it needs to be mapped in the attribute?
