1. Missing Barcode - Whether this is a Barcode, UPC or ISBN, these are often crucial to track and organize your inventory.
2. Missing Category - This is an issue if you make use of the Product Category from Shopify's Standard Product Taxonomy.
3. Missing Collection - This is an issue if you rely on Collections to group your products and monitor how well each of them are selling.

6. Missing Description - Most customers want at least a short description to provide details of what they're buying!

8. Missing Price - This is an issue because, aside from free samples, most products you sell will need a price.
9. Missing Product Type - Typically this is useful to organize your products into unique categories, so if the values are blank, those items won't be included in Sales by Product Type report.
10. Missing SKU - Again, the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is usually used in tracking and organizing inventory. You may also want to check out our Duplicate SKU s report as well.
11. Missing Weight - Doesn't matter for digital goods, but often vitally important for physical goods in the warehouse and especially for Shipping.
