Amazon global_catalog_owner attribute, Vine error 406

[oneida_books]

So this is a new one to me.

global_catalog_owner
global catalog owner

I have no idea yet on this attribute or where it actually exists to be set.

Anyone know about it??

ETA - Possibly this is an Amazon Merch on Demand attribute … (?)

global_catalog_owner

We can see threads posted to Europe on it since June of 2022 but every thread was closed with no answer.

It appears it has something to do with being unable to link the Brand to the owner.

This is from the UK forum…

Yeah, I read those before I posted. No answers anywhere.

I have the XSD’s and all kinds of saved Templates … nothing.

Hum, maybe this is the mystery attribute that keeps brand registry owners from editing their listings? Some hidden field in the database that we as outside sellers can never edit perhaps? And to which brand registry and seller support and other internal teams may not always have access to either? But that sometimes gets messed up?

Is it not referring to our Global Account?

[oneida_books]

Sort of, but not exactly.

My interpretation of this is that the “catalog owner” attribute = Brand Registry, is set by Amazon and is what gives the brand more control over the PDP’s. I would expect the attribute to be either a default of “Amazon”, “Amazon Retail” or the brand name.

So then the “Global Catalog Owner” attribute would cover all Marketplaces, and be a part of your Global.

The fact that support says this can be set by the Brand is just odd to me.

@oneida_books just saw this topic on the NSFE:

Please visit this help page to check if all common errors are resolved.

The different errors are as follows:

• Too many reviews: Occurs when the enrolled product reached the 30 reviews limit to make it eligible for Vine. At this point we will stop offering the product to Vine Voices. You do not need to take any action and your enrollment will automatically be concluded.
  ** No FBA offer: Occurs when the SKU lost its FBA offer. You can fix it by converting your offer to FBA again.*

• No image: Occurs when the product does not have a compliant image. You can fix it by uploading a new high-quality image to your listing.

• Associate SKU with your brand: Occurs when the SKU is not associated with a brand that you are the registered agent for in Brand Registry. Visit the Brand Registry help page for more information on how to associate your SKUs with your brand.

• Not associated with the enrolled parent: The enrolled product is no longer part of the same product variation family. To fix this, cancel your enrollment and re-enroll the product family.

If you look into all of this but still experiencing issues, please open a case with Seller Support and mention the case ID here so that I can also investigate this situation. Thank you.
