Settlement Question

The settlement flat file reports, according to my available files, have two "transaction types", either Order or Refund. What needs to be true for an Order to show as "posted" to this report? Same goes for Refunds. Amazon Support simply gives the answer "posted date refers to when the transaction is posted to your account," real helpful of them.

Hello @Seller_0ETx7wX2VjsAV,

Thanks for reaching out. A Settlement Report provides information on all financial transactions for the settlement period. Settlement periods vary, depending on your seller agreement. The Settlement Report includes all orders and adjustments for the settlement period, showing the details of the disbursement to your bank account. You can find details of the report HERE.

In order for an order to "post" it would need to have sold and shipped. The report will go off when everything does post to the account.

A settlement report can include the Federal Automated Clearing House Trace ID assigned to your fund transfer. If it has been more than five business days since Amazon initiated the transfer, your bank can use the Trace ID to research the status of your deposit.

To download a statement report:

  • Go to the All Statements page of the Payments report in Seller Central.
  • Use the Select Date Range filter to narrow the results to the time period of your choice, if desired.
  • Click one of the Download buttons in the Actions column for the settlement period you're interested in.
  • Download XML: An XML file that you can open in a program such as Microsoft Excel.
  • Download Flat File: A tab-delimited text file.
  • Download Flat File V2: Fulfillment by Amazon sellers can use this file with the Settlement Summary Template to build a pivot table that provides a simplified display of details by order. Learn more about the Settlement Summary Report.
  • Save the file to your local computer, and open it using a spreadsheet or database program.

To learn how to pull reports for custom date ranges, see Date Range Reports.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Cheers,

Micah
