Why this issue is happening
One or more of the values you’ve submitted for unique product identifier (UPI) attributes are either missing or aren't recognized as a valid identifier. Depending on the country that you’re targeting and the Google product category of the product you’re showing, you may be required to provide unique product identifiers or to state that such identifiers don’t exist for that item.
How to fix your issue
For each product, provide the appropriate unique product identifier values (GTIN [gtin], MPN [mpn], and brand [brand]) based on our UPI guidelines. You may also need to add a value for the identifier exists [identifier_exists] attribute.
