      Let's assume there's a website for nursery. Now they have listed plants and trees as their product now yoast is generating product structured data because of that search console is reporting errors  in markup says

      "Either "offers", "review", or "aggregateRating" should be specified"

      Reviews can be fixed because of genuine reviews and ratings but trees doesn't have sku, gtin8, gtin13, gtin14 or mpn" so we can't add this information. Because of this every product listing shows an error in structured data. What's the possible fix to get rid of these errors?

      **Note: I tried using snip to override Yoast Schema but using another plugin is not the first choice. **

        The SKU property doesn't need to be an official/registered identifier. It can be anything the merchant chooses. It should ideally be unique in your product catalog, but doesn't need to be unique across merchants. So, you can map to it whatever product ID your catalog has assigned. Can even be a simple database row number if needed.
