In this article we'll show you a worked example, but because of the large number of different transactions possible, you'll need to apply our approach, in a similar fashion for your own transaction data.

The first thing we do is copy and paste the transaction info from A2X into a spreadsheet:

It can help to color code each section to make it easy to identify which transactions belong in which of Amazon's categories. There's some interesting definitions here such as including Taxes in the other revenue category.

One of the benefits with A2X is that you can control all of the various transactions and how they are accounted for, so that you do not need to rely on Amazon's definitions that can often make accounting hard.
