What causes a “Datatype error” posting error for Amazon Merchants@ items?

When posting to Amazon Merchants@ we send your items to their system in batches instead of individually like other marketplaces. When an error occurs for a single item in the batch, Amazon rejects all of the items in that batch. One error that we see from time to time is the following. Error: Line Number: 8 Column Number: 224 Error Message: Datatype error: Type:InvalidDatatypeValueException, Message:Value ‘T00:00:00-08:00’ is not in enumeration . The most likely cause of this error is that some of the values configured for Sale Price and Sale date are not valid in one or more items in the batch of ads that was sent to Amazon. You will need to check any items that were rejected and make sure that the Sale Price and Sale date fields are valid in each SKU and then try posting the items again.
