Amazon MWS _POST_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_DATA_ Not Submitting

Question

I have looked at this so long to find whats wrong with my XML structure but maybe now cant see it for looking at it. Can anyone help?

When I run this is in the Scratchpad, after trying to submit, I keep getting "We are unable to process the XML feed because one or more items are invalid. Please re-submit the feed."

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
  <Header>
    <DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
    <MerchantIdentifier>XXXXXXXXXXXXX</MerchantIdentifier>
  </Header>
  <MessageType>OrderFulfillment</MessageType>
  <Message>
    <MessageID>1</MessageID>
    <OrderFulfillment>
      <OperationType>Update</OperationType>
      <AmazonOrderID>XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX</AmazonOrderID>
      <FulfillmentDate>2014-12-19T15:09:51+00:00</FulfillmentDate>
      <FulfillmentData>
        <CarrierName>FedEx</CarrierName>
        <ShippingMethod>Standard</ShippingMethod>
        <ShipperTrackingNumber>XXXXXXXX</ShipperTrackingNumber>
      </FulfillmentData>
      <Item>
        <AmazonOrderItemCode>XXXXXXXXXXXXXX</AmazonOrderItemCode>
        <Quantity>8</Quantity>
      </Item>
    </OrderFulfillment>
  </Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>

this was taken from the example feed on the sample :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <AmazonEnvelope xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Header>
    <DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
    <MerchantIdentifier>123456</MerchantIdentifier>
  </Header>
  <MessageType>OrderFulfillment</MessageType>
  <Message>
    <MessageID>1</MessageID>
    <OperationType>Update</OperationType>
    <OrderFulfillment>
      <AmazonOrderID>204-3070364-1550743</AmazonOrderID>
      <FulfillmentDate>2014-07-22T23:59:59-07:00</FulfillmentDate>
      <FulfillmentData>
        <CarrierName>Contact Us for Details</CarrierName>
        <ShippingMethod>Standard</ShippingMethod>
      </FulfillmentData>
      <Item>
        <AmazonOrderItemCode>42197908407194</AmazonOrderItemCode>
        <Quantity>1</Quantity>
      </Item>
    </OrderFulfillment>
  </Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>

I have also removed "Update" as I wasn't sure this was required in the XSD.

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jason

OperationType is part of Message, not part of OrderFulfillment. Switch lines 10 and 11 so that like this:

<MessageID>1</MessageID>
<OperationType>Update</OperationType>
<OrderFulfillment>
