Amazon MWS: getting error 99019 for XML productFeeds (SubmitFeed of type _POST_PRODUCT_DATA_)

When I try to add a product (via a SubmitFeed of type "_POST_PRODUCT_DATA_") to the Amazon Market via the Amazon MWS API I get the following error:

[Marketplace : Amazon.de] A valid value is required in either the "quantity" or "fulfillment_center_id" field.

But there is no "quantity" or "fulfillment_center_id" field in my Product.xsd nor in the official documentation. Also the exact same feed does work without an error on my Amazon MWS sandbox account. What am I missing?

Complete XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope>
    <Header>
        <DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
        <MerchantIdentifier>XXX</MerchantIdentifier>
    </Header>
    <MessageType>Product</MessageType>
    <Message>
        <MessageID>1</MessageID>
        <OperationType>Update</OperationType>
        <Product>
            <SKU>123456</SKU>
            <StandardProductID>
                <Type>EAN</Type>
                <Value>767715012826</Value>
            </StandardProductID>
            <ProductTaxCode>A_GEN_TAX</ProductTaxCode>
            <Condition>
                <ConditionType>New</ConditionType>

                            <NumberOfDiscs>1</NumberOfDiscs>

            </ProductData>
        </Product>
    </Message>

  1. Make sure that you use the correct "Merchant Token" (NOT merchant id) in the tag "MerchantIdentifier" inside your feed (this isn't well documented).

    <MerchantIdentifier>YOUR_MERCHANT_TOKEN</MerchantIdentifier>

    You should see your Merchant Token by navigating to Sellercentral > Settings > Account Info and clicking on Your Merchant Token inside the box Business Information. If the Merchant Token isn't there (which was a common error in the past), contact the Seller Support and ask for the correct Merchant Token: Please send me my Merchant Token (NOT merchant id) for use with 3rd party software.

  2. Try to omit additional tags describing the product, especially the whole <ProductData> section inside the <Product> element. Whenever i specified the <ProductData> section I got error 99019.

The field names in MWS error messages do not match the XML structure. I'm assuming they match the flat file (CSV) columns, but haven't actually checked.

You stated "I try to add a product", while I'm guessing that above error happened when subitting an inventory feed, which is why you won't find the anything of that sort in Product.xsd.

The corresponding XML elements are Quantity and FulfillmentCenterID, both defined in Inventory.xsd.
