Error messages can have the following causes:
- The data quality report
- The simulation report
- The audit report
- After importing via Excel
- Via your customers’ control systems
You can address this in two ways: in My Product Manager or in your own system. Below we explain the procedure for My Product Manager, but you can apply the same principle to your own system.

Warnings vs Errors: what's the difference?
Error messages appear in My Product Manager because the data you entered does not match the logical validations of the current sector data model. There are two types of error messages:
- Warnings: these are not blocking, but do warn you that your data does not match the current data model. You can ignore them, but we still recommend resolving them.
- Errors: these are blocking. You will not be able to validate or publish your product sheet to your customers. They will not be able to see your data.
