Introduction
Managing financial data from Amazon can be complex for businesses of all sizes. Amazon Settlement Reports summarize transactions such as sales, fees, refunds, adjustments, and deductions, which directly impact financial records. When these reports are manually reconciled or disconnected from ERP systems, businesses face calculation errors, delayed reporting, and limited insights.
ERP integration solves this problem by connecting Amazon reports directly to accounting systems. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and maintains accurate financial records in real time.
eZintegrations automates Amazon Settlement Report ERP integration, organizing and uploading data automatically instead of relying on manual entry.

Step-by-Step Amazon Settlement Report ERP Integration
What is the structure of an Amazon Settlement Report?
Answer: An Amazon Settlement Report summarizes all financial transactions for a specific period, including product sales, shipping fees, Amazon service fees, refunds, reimbursements, and discounts.
How it works:
-
Each row represents a transaction type. Sales are positive, while fees and refunds are negative.
-
Key columns: transaction type, date, SKU, amount, fee breakdown.
-
Settlement period dates determine grouping for accurate reporting.
Example: A $100 sale with $15 referral fees, $2 fulfillment fees, and $1 storage fee results in a net deposit of $82. eZintegrations ensures this amount is recorded accurately in the ERP system.
