Overview

Amazon Seller Central offers date range reports that give sellers a detailed financial picture of their account activity over a chosen time period. These reports track individual transactions and provide summary overviews of income, expenses, taxes, and fund transfers — all organized by the date each transaction was posted to the seller's account. Understanding how to generate and read these reports is essential for accurate bookkeeping, tax preparation, and overall financial management of an Amazon business.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Transaction dates may differ from order or shipment dates — Reports are organized by the date a transaction posts to your account, which may not match when the order was placed or when the item shipped. Keep this in mind when reconciling records.
• Two report formats are available — A summary report in PDF format provides a high-level overview of finances, while a detailed transaction report in CSV format lists every individual transaction during the selected period.
• Reports cover up to 365 days — You can generate a single report spanning up to one full year, with historical data available going back to 2012.
• Future end dates delay generation — If you set an end date in the future, Amazon will not generate the report until 24 hours after that date passes.
• Processing can take up to three hours — Reports are not generated instantly. If your report does not appear in the list right away, check back later.
• Column availability varies by country — The data fields included in your report may differ depending on which Amazon marketplace you are selling in.

How to Generate a Date Range Report

To create a custom date range report, navigate to the Reports section in Seller Central and look for the date range reporting option. From the drop-down menu, select your desired report type. If you operate multiple account types, you have the option to generate unified reports that consolidate data across all of your available accounts into a single view. You then choose between two date selection methods: a monthly option that covers the first through the last day of a selected month, or a custom date range option where you specify exact start and end dates using the date pickers. Once your selections are made, click to generate the report and allow up to three hours for processing.
