Overview

Amazon has rolled out a Payments Reports Repository inside Seller Central, giving sellers a single location to locate, tag, schedule, and download every financial report they need. The data inside each report remains unchanged, but the new interface adds workflow tools that can shave minutes—or even hours—off routine accounting tasks. Sellers who rely on regular cash‑flow statements, tax documents, or transaction logs should start using the hub immediately to streamline their back‑office processes.

Key Points

• All reports in one place — Transaction histories, settlement summaries, and tax documents are now accessed from a dedicated page, eliminating the need to jump between separate Seller Central menus.
• Custom tags for instant retrieval — Sellers can assign labels such as “Q3‑2024‑Tax” or “Accountant‑Upload” to any report, making future searches as simple as filtering by tag.
• Automated scheduling — Reports can be set to generate on a specific date each month or quarter, with the ability to edit or cancel the schedule at any time.
• Live status indicator — A progress bar shows whether a requested report is still processing, completed, or has encountered an error, preventing duplicate requests.
• No data format changes — Because the underlying CSV or XML structures are untouched, existing QuickBooks, Xero, or custom import scripts continue to work without modification.

How the Payments Reports Repository Works

1. Navigate to the repository — From Seller Central’s main navigation, select “Payments → Reports Repository.” The landing page lists every payment‑related report type, from daily transaction dumps to monthly settlement statements. Example: A seller looking for the previous month’s “Amazon Disbursement Report” clicks the repository link and sees the report listed alongside “FBA Fees Summary.”
2. Apply custom tags (optional) – After a report is generated, a tag field appears next to the file name. Sellers type any label that fits their workflow, such as “Holiday‑2023‑Sales” or “CPA‑Review.” : An accountant requests all Q4 reports; the seller tags each with “Q4‑2023‑CPA” so the accountant can filter by that tag later.
