Know Before You Go

    Match the exact error message from Slate to the table above to find the matching row quickly.

    Rules 9 and 10 (Internal error) are fixed by Prime Video. You do not need to take action.

    For date errors (Rules 11, 13, 14), check both the bundle avail and the max-quality avail for each child entity.

    Bundle pricing must be below the sum of all child title prices. Adjust your pricing before resubmitting.

    Pre-order errors (Rules 23, 24, 26) require the pre-order feature to be enabled. Contact your account manager if needed.
