Why this issue is happening
For one or more of your products you’ve submitted a value for the MPN [mpn] attribute that may be incorrect. As a result, you’ve received a warning about these products, which may be disapproved for ads or free listings.
Potential customers may search for a specific MPN when looking to make a purchase. Providing the correct MPN can help ensure that your product is shown in relevant situations.
How to fix your issue
To fix this issue, provide a valid value for the MPN [mpn] attribute.
Only use MPNs that have been assigned by the manufacturer rather than a reseller or a distributor. If the product doesn’t have an MPN, clear the current value and leave the field blank.
