How to Use the All Orders Report in Seller Central
The All Orders report in Seller Central merges FBA and merchant‑fulfilled (MFN) orders into a single downloadable CSV and offers two date‑range filters—order date or last‑update—such as 01‑Mar‑2024 to 31‑Mar‑2024. Each SKU appears as a separate row, so a three‑item purchase creates three rows, providing detailed quantity and pricing data.
Overview
Amazon’s All Orders report consolidates every order linked to a Seller Central account—whether fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) or directly by the seller—into a single downloadable file. Launched to give sellers a unified snapshot of order activity, the report is essential for anyone who needs to monitor demand, inventory, and fulfillment performance across all sales channels.
Key Points
- All fulfillment methods combined — The file merges FBA and merchant‑fulfilled orders, so you no longer have to generate separate spreadsheets for each fulfillment type.
- Download‑only format — Unlike the Inventory or Payments reports, the All Orders report cannot be previewed in the browser; you must request and save the CSV to examine the data.
- Includes pending shipments — Orders that have not yet left the warehouse appear alongside shipped and completed orders, allowing you to see real‑time back‑log levels.
- Two date‑range filters — Choose “order date” to capture every purchase placed within a window, or “last update” to pull orders that were created or modified (cancellations, returns, address changes) during that period.
- No personal customer data — Buyer names, addresses, and contact details are omitted, keeping the file compliant with Amazon’s privacy rules but requiring other reports for customer‑level analysis.
- Item‑level granularity — Each line in the CSV represents a single SKU within an order, meaning a multi‑item purchase generates multiple rows for detailed quantity and pricing insight.
How the All Orders Report Works
- Data aggregation — Amazon extracts order records from both the Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) system and the Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN). For example, a seller who ships some units from a third‑party warehouse and others from Amazon’s fulfillment centers will see both sets of rows in the same file.
- Row creation per item — The report writes one line for each distinct SKU in an order. If a customer buys three different products in a single checkout, the CSV will contain three separate rows, each with its own SKU, quantity, and price.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
Consolidating FBA and MFN data into one file cuts reconciliation time from hours to minutes and lets sellers filter pending MFN orders each morning to trigger stock replenishment. The “last update” filter surfaces cancellations or returns (e.g., orders cancelled on 15‑Mar‑2024) so refunds can be issued promptly, and the report’s sales‑channel column enables multi‑marketplace performance compari...
