Review a Processing Report

The processing report is a tab-delimited text file you can open and read in a program such as Microsoft Excel or Notepad. Processing reports are downloadable files that let you review the status of your inventory file uploads.

To download and review a processing report, follow the below steps:

1. Under Catalog, select Add Products.
2. Go to the Spreadsheet tab, then click Check Upload Status.

   Each line in the spreadsheet containing data is referred to as a "record." At the top of the processing report, there is a summary of records (listings) with the total number of records processed and those processed successfully. The difference is the number of records processed unsuccessfully (or processed with errors).

3. (Optional) Filter or sort the error-type column to view only error messages (and not info or warning messages)
4. For each error, refer to the original-record-number and SKU columns to determine which record in your inventory file resulted in the error
   Note: The first two rows of your inventory file are not considered records. Therefore, an error in Record 1 in the processing report corresponds to Line 3 in your inventory file.

In the example given below, 1,045 records were processed, of which 1,030 records were processed successfully and 15 were unsuccessful because of errors:

Feed Processing Summary
Number of records processed: 1045
Number of records successful: 1030

The processing report displays errors in the following format. You can use this report to make necessary corrections in your inventory file, and then reload the file to correct your listings.
