Why Amazon Settlements Don't Reconcile in QuickBooks

The Net vs Gross Problem

Amazon sends one lump sum to your bank every two weeks. But that deposit combines thousands of transactions: sales, refunds, referral fees, FBA fees, storage charges, advertising costs, and taxes. Without proper breakdown, you're left with $6,000 in your bank but no idea if that represents $10,000 in sales minus $4,000 in fees—or something else entirely. Your books become impossible to reconcile.

What This Tool Does

We parse Amazon's Settlement Report V2 and create a balanced QuickBooks journal entry that: - Credits your income accounts for gross sales - Debits expense accounts for each fee category - Adds a clearing account entry that matches your bank deposit Result: One-click reconciliation when Amazon's deposit hits your bank feed.

Common Journal Entry Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Settlement Report V2 data to Journal Entry - and how we solve them

Journal Entry Out of Balance

QuickBooks rejects entries where Debits ≠ Credits

Debits: $5000.00, Credits: $4999.99
Debits: $5000.00, Credits: $5000.00

We automatically add a Reconciliation Discrepancy line for rounding

Re-upload your file - balancing is handled automatically

Unrecognized Amazon Fee Type

Amazon introduces new fee types (e.g., 2025 Inbound Placement Fee)

InboundPlacementServiceFee
Mapped to Amazon Inbound Fees

Our fee taxonomy includes 100+ Amazon fee types including 2025 updates

Unknown fees are mapped to 'Amazon Other Fees' with a warning

Invalid Date Format

QuickBooks requires MM/DD/YYYY dates

2025-01-15T00:00:00+00:00
01/15/2025

ISO 8601 timestamps are automatically converted

Dates are converted automatically during processing

Negative Amount Handling

Amazon uses negative for fees; QuickBooks needs explicit Debit/Credit

Amount: -25.50 (Commission)
Debit: 25.50 to Amazon Selling Fees

Negative amounts become Debits; positive amounts become Credits

Sign handling is automatic - no manual adjustment needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the Settlement Report V2 (Date Range Report) from Seller Central. This is the ONLY report that matches your bank deposits. Order reports show different totals and won't reconcile.
QuickBooks Online CSV import for Sales Receipts doesn't support negative line items (fees). Journal Entries support proper debits/credits for accurate accounting.
A clearing account holds Amazon funds 'in transit.' When the deposit hits your bank, you transfer from Clearing to Checking. If the amounts match, you know your books are correct.
We map 100+ Amazon fee types to appropriate accounts: Referral Fees, FBA Fulfillment, Storage, Advertising, 2025 Inbound Placement fees, and more. Each gets its own expense line.
Amazon collects and remits sales tax in most states. We record this properly so it doesn't inflate your revenue or create phantom tax liability.
For QuickBooks Desktop users, use our IIF format tool at /import/amazon-quickbooks-desktop.
By default, we use the settlement end date for the journal. For accrual accounting with split-month entries, use the 'Split Month' option (coming soon).
