The InventoryTargetingError.Reason enumeration defines the possible reasons for targeting errors related to inventory in the Google Ad Manager API.
Reasons for errors include issues with targeting or excluding inventory units and placements, conflicts between targeting and exclusion at different hierarchical levels, and restrictions on targeting self-only inventory units or YouTube audience segments.
Several Ad Manager services, such as AdRuleService, LineItemService, and OrderService, depend on or utilize the InventoryTargetingError to indicate targeting issues.
