Hi there!

We are in the process of implementing R.120 as part of the RMF audit to 
include the PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT. We had previously implemented the 
SHOPPING_PERFORMANCE_REPORT without too much trouble. In looking at these 
two report definitions, I cannot help but be confused as to what data I'm 
trying to show to our clients. Most of our agency clients are not using 
Google Shopping, and this isn't something they are really clamoring for.

In SHOPPING_PERFORMANCE_REPORT:

   - OfferId -- appears to be a UPC
   - ProductCategory[X] - These make sense
   - ProductType[X] - These make sense

In PRODUCT_PARTION_REPORT:

   - Id -- Appears to be a standard keyword ID
   - ParentCriterionId -- Can't actually include this column (see below)
   - ProductGroup -- Can't actually include this column (see below)
   - PartitionType (segment) -- Can't actually include this column (see 
   below)


For the two above columns, I get an XML error indicating it's an invalid 
column. The report runs fine if I remove them.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<reportDownloadError><ApiError><type>
ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT
</type><trigger></trigger><fieldPath>PartitionType
</fieldPath></ApiError></reportDownloadError>


So the PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT isn't terribly useful right now. It just 
shows an ID and the relevant metrics.

My root question is what am I trying to communicate with these two reports? 
The SHOPPING_PERFORMANCE_REPORT makes sense, but the 
PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT less so. And what should I call these in our UI? 
They are both "Shopping" related, so I'm guessing "Offers" for 
SHOPPING_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and "Products" for PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT
