Amazon Settlement Reconciliation, Finally Automated
Every Amazon payout contains hundreds of financial variables — commissions, FBA fees, refunds, TCS deductions, and advertising charges. MaruTally reconciles all of them automatically, giving you accurate books and true order-level profitability without the spreadsheet grind.
What Is Inside an Amazon Settlement Report?
Your Amazon payout is never just "sales minus fees." Here is every component that determines your net deposit.
Product Sales
Gross order value collected from Amazon customers across all product categories.
Referral Fees
Amazon commission charged as a percentage of the sale price, varying by product category (typically 5%–17%).
FBA Fulfilment Fees
Per-unit pick, pack, and delivery charges for orders fulfilled through Fulfilled by Amazon warehouses.
Returns & Refunds
Customer return credits that reduce your gross settlement, sometimes with partial or no fee reversal.
TCS Deduction
Tax Collected at Source (1%) deducted by Amazon on your net taxable supplies, claimable as ITC against GST.
Advertising Charges
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display costs deducted directly from your settlement.
The Traditional Amazon Reconciliation Workflow
Most amazon seller accounting teams still use this painful, error-prone process every fortnight.
Export settlement CSV from Amazon Seller Central — often hundreds of columns across thousands of rows.
Manually sort and label each transaction type: sales, fees, refunds, advertising, TCS adjustments.
Compare gross sales against your own order management system to find mismatches.
Calculate expected fees using Amazon's rate card and compare against actuals for every order.
Match each return credit to its original order and confirm the correct fee reversal was applied.
Manually create accounting entries in Tally or similar software — often one by one.

Amazon Seller Accounting: The Reconciliation Challenge
For growing ecommerce businesses, amazon settlement reconciliation is one of the most operationally demanding financial tasks they face. Amazon payouts consolidate hundreds of transaction types — sales, commissions, FBA fees, refunds, advertising, TCS — into a net payment figure that obscures the underlying financial detail.
Traditional amazon seller accounting approaches rely on manual CSV processing and spreadsheet formulas. At low volumes, this is manageable. But as order volumes grow into the thousands, the manual approach creates compounding risk: undetected fee overcharges, missed TCS credits, incorrect return accounting, and an ever-growing reconciliation backlog.
The fundamental role of amazon reconciliation software is to replace this manual process with an automated, continuously running workflow that ingests Amazon settlement data, categorises it correctly, identifies discrepancies, and posts accurately to your accounting system. The result is that amazon payout reconciliation becomes a background process rather than a foreground burden — freeing your finance team to focus on interpretation and decision-making rather than data processing.
MaruTally is purpose-built for this role. It understands the specific financial architecture of Amazon's settlement system, the TCS compliance requirements of Indian marketplace sellers, and the order-level profitability analysis that turns reconciliation data into business intelligence.
Amazon Reconciliation Questions, Answered
Common questions from Amazon sellers about settlement reconciliation and accounting.
What is Amazon settlement reconciliation?+
Amazon settlement reconciliation is the process of matching every component of your Amazon payout — including product sales, referral fees, FBA charges, refunds, advertising deductions, and TCS — to your accounting records. Because Amazon nets all these items into a single bank deposit, reconciliation is required to maintain accurate, component-level financial records.
How often does Amazon settle payments?+
Amazon India typically settles payments every 14 days. Each settlement report covers those 14 days and includes all orders delivered, returned, and adjusted during that period. Some Amazon global accounts settle on 7-day or monthly cycles. MaruTally processes each cycle automatically, regardless of frequency.
Can I reconcile Amazon TCS automatically using MaruTally?+
Yes. MaruTally identifies every TCS deduction in your Amazon settlement, calculates the running annual total, and cross-references it against your GSTR-2A data to confirm the credit is available. This ensures you claim every eligible rupee of ITC from TCS without manual tracking.
Does MaruTally support Amazon FBA and Easy Ship sellers?+
Yes. MaruTally handles both FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) and Easy Ship fulfilment models, applying the correct fee structure and logistics cost accounting for each. FBA monthly storage fees, removal fees, and long-term storage charges are all processed correctly.
How does MaruTally post Amazon data to Tally?+
MaruTally generates correctly structured Tally vouchers — sales entries, purchase entries (for fees), journal entries (for TCS) — that are formatted for direct import into your Tally company. Each voucher includes the correct ledger references, narration, and settlement reference number for audit traceability.
