Deferred Transactions - How are Sellers calculating the Sales and Fees now to match to the Statments?

When you download the Statement for a period of time, it no longer tells you the total sales for that statement period because it excludes "deferred sales" as per Amazon's latest change.

How are we supposed to know which transactions were deferred during that statement period?

You can't use the deferred transaction report, because that doesn't tell you what transactions "were" deferred, only those that are currently deferred.

You can't use an "All Transactions" on a statement period, because Amazon didn't make that an option.

Right now the only thing I can figure out to do for the P&L is:

1. Look at the Business Report on Amazon and "assume" those were my sales for the month (not statement period).

2. Look at the Sales actually reported via statements and assume the difference between those two is what was "deferred"?

3. Even then you have to "estimate" FBA Fees and Referral fees.

There HAS to be a better way of knowing precisely what was deferred that aligns to the statement!

Why didn't they just include the transactions in the Statement and tag them as deferred????!!!!

We don't. We just use the line items on the two-week disbursement. Amazon breaks it down for you on the line items.

How with that said. Amazon cannot tell you the rest of the story, and that is up to you to track. We only sell FBM, and I know what i paid for each product, what the shipping and packing cost will be, what the Amazon commission will be, and how much profit I make on each individual product. Works very well and supports 9 employees.

Now if you use FBA, you are always paying fees that Amazon can change at any time. Because you have no control over these fees and they are deducted whether or not the product sells, It comes out or your UNEARNED profit. If you do not pay attention to what is going on, Amazon can easily take all of your profit leaving you with none.
