How to Solve PSERR_148

Description

To list variants correctly on Zalando, every variant (or "article") of each product must be unique. The PSERR_148 error occurs when Zalando has only one value for the “main color” property (like "grey") BUT there are two different color values (like "light grey" and "dark grey") in your TB.One setup mapped to that single Zalando value.

When Zalando receives the data, it sees two different variants with the same size and color (in our example "grey"), considers them duplicates of each other, and blocks the product.

Article Status Report Message

Two or more article variants belonging to the same article ID are mapped with the same color codes combination. Please ensure that a unique color code combination is assigned to each article variant and submit the article again.

Solution

To resolve the PSERR_148 error, identify the conflicting color values in your data and update the Zalando value mapping for the  “main color” property.

1. Identify Conflicting Colors

•Go to "Articles > Product list".

•Open the affected product.

•Switch to the tab "Article list".

•Review the values listed under the variant dimension that represents your color (for example "Color", "Farbe").

•Look for similar values that might have a high potential of being mapped identically, such as "light grey" and "dark grey". Note these down. That way you will know exactly which values to check in the value mapping.

2. Check and Update the Value Mapping

•Go to "Channels > Zalando (main channel) > Value Mapping".

•In the left column, select "--global Mapping--".

TIP:
If you map your color on the category level instead of the global level, select the category the affected product is assigned to in the left column.

For Zalando, we recommend mapping at the global level. Mappings at category level override global mappings.

•In the middle column, find and select the property named "main color" ("Hauptfarbe").

•In the right column, change the filter to “show all”. The column now shows all color values assigned to Zalando articles.

•Find the values you noted in Step 1 (for example "light grey" and "dark grey"). You will likely see they are both mapped to the same Zalando value in the drop-down menu (for example grey).

TIP:
Hover over the Zalando value in the drop-down list in the right column to view the Zalando color code (for example 502).

•For each of your internal color values that were mapped identically, select a different and unique Zalando value from the drop-down list. Try to choose the closest appropriate Zalando color codes.

•Save your changes.

Mapping Example:

Wrong

Correct

light grey → grey

light grey → light grey

dark grey → grey

dark grey → dark grey

3. Wait for the Next Export to Zalando

•When you have configured all settings, wait for the next daily Zalando export.

•Monitor the status in zDirect to confirm that the error is resolved.
