Browse Tree Reports - multiple productTypeDefinitions for leaf category

[BarnetMichal]

I downloaded the BTR for IT(APJ6JRA9NG5V4) via GET_XML_BROWSE_TREE_DATA and I came across end categories that contain more Product types see,

3628458031;"Casa e cucina,Aspirapolvere e pulizia di pavimenti e finestre,Accessori per aspirapolvere,Bocchette";KITCHEN,HOME_BED_AND_BATH,HOME_FURNITURE_AND_DECOR,ABIS_KITCHEN,HOME; 733017031;"Casa e cucina,Aspirapolvere e pulizia di pavimenti e finestre,Accessori per aspirapolvere,Cuscinetti e spazzole a disco";KITCHEN,HOME_BED_AND_BATH,HOME_FURNITURE_AND_DECOR,ABIS_KITCHEN,HOME; 733012031;"Casa e cucina,Aspirapolvere e pulizia di pavimenti e finestre,Accessori per aspirapolvere,Cover";KITCHEN,HOME_BED_AND_BATH,HOME_FURNITURE_AND_DECOR,ABIS_KITCHEN,HOME;

Do you know if this is a bug or can this situation happen? Thanks for reply!

Hi @BarnetMichal,

Can you provide more information and highlight the exact concern you are having and what you are expecting?

Did you go through the report documentation: https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/report-type-values-browse-tree?

You can also validate the report against the BrowseTreeReport.xsd schema.

Hi @jawheral This is one of the node from GET_XML_BROWSE_TREE_DATA for IT market (APJ6JRA9NG5V4) I`m expecting that leaf category node will have just one Product type or nothing. I want to create a listing with recommended_browse_nodes = 3628458031 and need a product type. Which one should I pick from productTypeDefinitions? I mean for the other 99% of browse nodes, there is one type or nothing, so this is suspicious to me.

<Node>
        <browseNodeId>3628458031</browseNodeId>
        <browseNodeAttributes count="1">
            <attribute name="recommended_browse_nodes">3628458031</attribute>
        </browseNodeAttributes>
        <browseNodeName>Bocchette</browseNodeName>
        <browseNodeStoreContextName>Bocchette per aspirapolvere</browseNodeStoreContextName>

Hi @BarnetMichal,

Thanks for sharing. This might mean that your listing could go with multiple similar product type definitions.

I also suggest that you use the Catalog API - searchCatalogItems to look for similar products and see what productTypeDefinition they belong to or query each product type definition provided and analyse which one works best for you.
