Make Various Payments Reports into single detailed report as seller friendly @ Amazon.in
Dear Amazon Team and Fellow Sellers,
I would like to bring attention to a critical concern regarding the lack of clarity and completeness in the various payment-related reports and monthly invoices provided by Amazon. As MSMEs, it becomes extremely time-consuming, high cost for accounting and complicated to reconcile payments and maintain proper accounts due to the following issues:
1. Inconsistency in Reports:
- Transaction View, All Statements, Reports Repository do not provide a complete and transparent breakup of each order's product charges and associated Amazon fees.
- Statement View and Disbursements are somewhat aligned, but still lack the level of detail required for accounting purposes. Statement View gives a decent breakdown of orders but does not reflect in the Transaction View which is what most sellers refer to while tallying.
2. Invoices Missing Critical Details (Order ID & Fee Breakdown):
- The monthly invoices provided by Amazon do not mention Order IDs against various fees such as referral commission, closing fees, shipping charges, or promotional rebates.
- This makes it extremely difficult to match charges to individual orders.
- Unlike retail stores, where every receipt clearly shows the product name, price, individual taxes, and final totals, Amazon’s invoices resemble sending a document without an “address” — making reconciliation almost impossible.
Our Request:
Please provide a single break up report (preferably in Excel format) that includes main header and sub header in columns wise Covering
- Order ID
- Product Charges like Product Principal, Gift Wraps ,COD charges and corresponding IGST,CGST & SGST
-- All Amazon Fees (Commission, Shipping, Closing, etc.) & Corresponding Taxes IGST,CGST & SGST (broken down by tax type)
-- Promotional Discounts
- Final Column - Bank Settlement Amount
Kind Note:
The Excel format allows up to 16,384 columns, which provides more than enough space to represent each type of charge or fee as a separate column header. For every order ID (each row) as a checkpoint to refer, the relevant value can be filled under the corresponding fee/charge column (if applicable). This structure would allow sellers to instantly see which charges apply to each order and their corresponding tax implications — making the entire reconciliation process far more efficient and transparent with very less time consuming.
This will enable sellers to accurately reconcile monthly invoices with transaction-level data without needing to jump across multiple reports.
If any sellers have found a way to reconcile these efficiently, please share your solution. Otherwise, I kindly request fellow sellers to upvote this post so the concern reaches Amazon’s finance and report development team.
Thank you,
