Amazon barcode missing	One or more of the products in your shipment arrived without the required scannable Amazon barcode, also known as an X00 label or FNSKU. The Amazon barcode is an identifier that fulfillment centers use to identify individual offers for a specific ASIN.	If you chose to use an Amazon barcode when you created a listing for a product to be fulfilled by Amazon, you must put the correct X00 label on the product. You can print Amazon barcodes from the Label Products page when you create a shipment or at any time from the Manage Inventory page. Make sure the label title matches the corresponding unit, and label your units one at a time. Cover the entire original manufacturer barcode with your X00 label, and make sure the barcode is visible so it can be scanned at the fulfillment center. For more information, see Use an Amazon barcode to track inventory.
Manufacturer barcode missing	One or more of the products in your shipment arrived at the fulfillment center without the required scannable manufacturer barcode (GCID, UPC, EAN, JAN, or ISBN).
