Amazon MWS update product using _POST_PRODUCT_DATA_ / Product feed - amazon-mws

I want to update the ShippingWeight in some of our products.
I think the Product feed should do this for me.
The feed below seems to work fine, the data is updated in amazon, but I get an error response.
What's wrong with the feed, why do I get an error response even though the updates are done ?
I tried Update and PartialUpdate.
The error response looks like an error on creating new products.
And why do I have to specify the "Title" element when updating the ShippingWeight (Title does not have minOccurs="0" in xsd) :-(
Here's my feed:

Unable to submit order fulfilment feed amazon mws

I am trying to update shipping information through the feed API and here is my xml feed

</Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>
When I submit the feed getting response as We are unable to process the XML feed because one or more items are invalid. Please re-submit the feed. But both the order id and order item id is valid one.
In the sample feed provided by amazon I can see <MerchantFulfillmentID>1234567</MerchantFulfillmentID> and <MerchantFulfillmentItemID>1234567</MerchantFulfillmentItemID> but where can I find these ids.
As stated here Selling on Amazon Guide to XML:
You can send your own unique order and item identifiers
(MerchantOrderID and MerchantOrderItemID) rather than Amazon's order
and item identifiers, if you established your own in the
OrderAcknowledgement feed.
MerchantOrderID:
Optional seller supplied order ID. The first step is to establish the
MerchantOrderID in the acknowledgem ent feed. Amazon will map the
MerchantOrderID to the AmazonOrderID, and you can then use your own
order ID (MerchantOrderID) for subsequent feeds relating to that
order. See the base XSD for the definition.
MerchantFulfillmentID:
Seller supplied unique identifier for the shipment (not used by Amazon)
If you did not established your own ID´s in the OrderAcknowledgement feed, you can not use this fields in the Order Fulfillment feed.
Instead you have to speficy AmazonOrderID and Item.AmazonOrderItemCode. The AmazonOrderItemCode is an code for this specific product in this specific order. It has nothing todo with the famous ASIN or something.
Working example for an _POST_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_DATA_ feed would like like:
<AmazonEnvelope>

<DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>

I am having some trouble submitting an order adjustment to Amazon via the Amazon MWS

On submitting the XML the error returned by Amazon is:
Error 5000:This is a malformed or invalid XML document.
Your XML does not seem malformed or invalid. However it is missing the AmazonOrderItemCode or MerchantOrderItemID which needs to be stated before AdjustmentReason, which is why it doesn't validate.

Amazon Order Acknowledgment feed

I am using the Order Acknowledgment feed to cancel the order for Amazon. Below is the xml feed format that I am using to cancel the Amazon order.
I have successfully been able to submit this feed to MWS, but every time when I check the feed submission result it always gives this error
'The XML you submitted is ill-formed at the Amazon Envelope XML level
at (or near) line 1, column 485'.
I created the xml format according to this Selling on Amazon: Guide to XML.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>

<MessageType>OrderAcknowledgment</MessageType>
<Message>
<MessageID>1</MessageID>
<OrderAcknowledgement>
<AmazonOrderID>123-1234567-1234567</AmazonOrderID>
<StatusCode>Failure</StatusCode>
<CancelReason>BuyerCanceled</CancelReason>
</OrderAcknowledgment>
</Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>
Can any one help me what i am missing here in the xml format?
There are two problems with your XML code:
Amazon uses "OrderAcknowledgement", not "OrderAcknowledgment". While that choice may be debatable, the XSDs do not leave any room for a different spelling. (this applies to the MessageType and both opening and closing XML tag, your spelling is correct for the opening tag only)
CancelReason is only valid inside <Item> substructures.
The following XML validates:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
