This error can occur at any time, but generally it appears after listing the product to Walmart for the first time. This error can have a number of causes, but it may not appear in Listing Errors.
​

To diagnose the root cause of the problem, we can look at the Channel Status Explanation field for this SKU in QuickEdit.
​
First, go to Catalog > QuickEdit, then click "Add Column" and you can search for "Status" or "Walmart Status" and you will find the Walmart Channel Status Explanation field as well as Walmart Channel Status:

Here we can see the SYSTEM_PROBLEM Channel Status is indicating that Walmart has blocked the listing because of a "Trust & Safety" concern. In this case a value (very often the Title or Description) contains keywords that Walmart has rejected.
​
To resolve these kinds of errors, contact Walmart Support directly so they can provide you with the specifics on what needs to be corrected.
