Learn how to use the A2X Amazon Summary Report to reconcile your data against Amazon Seller Central and manage deferred transactions.

The A2X Amazon Summary Report allows you to compare A2X data with the Date Range Summary Report in Amazon Seller Central.

This ensures all transactions have been received and processed correctly, simplifying the reconciliation process between Amazon, A2X, and your accounting system.

Accessing the Amazon Summary Report

The Amazon Summary Report is available for all Amazon accounts connected to A2X.

  1. In A2X, navigate to Reports in the main navigation bar.

  2. Select Amazon Summary Report from the options.

Using the A2X Amazon Summary Report

For an Amazon account in A2X, click on 'Reports' in the navigation.

  1. Select your desired Date range (the maximum range is 92 days).

  2. Choose the specific Marketplace you want to review.

  3. Click Create Report.

A note on dates: Reports are available for settlements processed after January 1, 2024. For settlements older than this, you may need to refresh the data before they appear in reports. Transactions for Multi-channel Fulfillment (MCF) orders may be missing for periods prior to May 2024.

Deferred Transactions

In early 2026, Amazon updated its Date Range Summary Report to include deferred transactions in its totals. If your Amazon Seller Account has deferred transactions, your A2X Summary Report will now only match Seller Central, if you have Amazon Deferred Transaction adjustments enabled in A2X.

Reviewing A2X’s Amazon Summary Report with Deferred Transactions Adjustments enabled

A2X's Summary Report shows ‘Rrecognized’ amounts by default; these combine your Settlements with A2X's monthly deferred transactions adjustments, and they're what match Seller Central.

What makes up the Recognized amounts

Toggle the Show Deferred Transactions Adjustments Detail switch to see the breakdown of:

  • Settled: Transactions released and reported by Amazon in the period.

  • Accrued: Amounts withheld by Amazon for future release.

  • Reversed: Previously withheld amounts now released (to prevent double-counting).

  • Recognized: The final revenue figure (Settled + Accrued + Reversed).

When values show as Pending

If A2X hasn't generated the deferred transactions adjustment for your reporting period yet, Recognized totals show as Pending. Adjustments are generated on the 5th of each month for the previous month.

A note on October 2024 to March 2025: Amazon introduced deferred transactions in October 2024, but due to Amazon API limitations, the first month A2X supports adjustments for is April 2025. Reports that overlap this window may not match Seller Central.

Without Deferred Transactions Adjustments enabled

If you haven't enabled Deferred Transactions adjustments, the Summary Report continues to show settlement-based amounts only, and the Show Deferred Transactions Adjustments Detail toggle won't appear.

Many Amazon accounts now have deferred transactions, and Amazon includes those in its Summary Report totals. If your account has any deferred transactions, your A2X report will not match Seller Central until you enable deferred transactions adjustments.

To enable deferred transactions adjustments, go to Settings → Amazon Deferred Transactions and follow Monthly Adjustments for Amazon Deferred Transactions for the full setup, including how to establish an opening balance.

Comparing with Amazon Seller Central

To generate the matching report in Seller Central:

  1. Log in to Seller Central and go to Payments > Reports Repository.

  2. For Account type, choose All (Unified Reports) to include standard and invoiced orders.

  3. Set Report type to Summary.

  4. Select the matching Date range or month used in A2X.

  5. Click Request report, download the file, and compare the totals to your A2X Summary Report for the same marketplace and date range

Troubleshooting Discrepancies

Amazon Deferred Transactions

If your A2X Summary Report doesn't match Seller Central, see the "Deferred Transactions" section above.

Unarchived orders

If A2X's report appears to be "missing" data when compared the the Seller Central report, check for unarchived orders in Seller Central and ensure the settlements are showing up on the 'Settlements' page in A2X for the period you've selected.

For periods prior to 2024-01-01, settlements may need to be refreshed before being included in reports.

The warnings below may appear if you are missing data for the requested period:

Potential missing data

This may occur if settlements for the selected period are not in A2X.

No data for this range

This indicates no data for the selected period, possibly due to the date range being too recent or too far in the past.

Accounting System Variances

The A2X Amazon Summary Report includes all settlements within A2X whether or not they have been posted to your accounting system. If you've used A2X's standard chart of accounts and see a variance between your accounting system and A2X's Amazon Summary Report, check whether all settlements within your reporting period have been sent to your accounting system.
