Main errors and how to solve them

• 700001 - MOIN_ALREADY_KNOWN

This error means that a similar product is already offered on Otto by another partner. You need to check that the product returned via the provided link perfectly matches your product:
If it's not the same product, you have to open a ticket request with Otto so that an analysis can be performed on their end.
If it's the same product, validate the offer in your Otto backoffice - this cannot be done automatically through Lengow. You then need to set the MOIN identifier of the product in Lengow, in the "moin" attribute.

• mediaAssets.location: URL is not valid

This error occurs when you are sending a "mediaAssets.type" value but the corresponding "mediaAssets.location" (containing your image URL) is empty.
To avoid this, you can add a rule on the "mediaAssets.type" field, to empty it when the "mediaAssets.location" field is not set.

Edit a product file

Check our usual guidelines to edit your data.

• Edit "product data"
• Edit "offer data" : Data is automatically updated as soon as the offer feed is sent out (the frequency is indicated at the "Launch the channel catalogue" step).
