Order Synchronization: Non-Order Fees

Amazon charges merchants fees that are not related to particular orders, for example, storage or advertising fees. The details of these fees are available in the settlement reports provided by Amazon. You can import such fees into MYOB Acumatica to gain greater visibility into per-unit profitability—that is, how much the company makes on the products it sells on Amazon and how much it is charged for each of the products.

Setting Up the Import of Non-Order Fees

To set up the import of non-order fees to MYOB Acumatica, you perform the following general steps:

  1. Activate the entity.

    To synchronize non-order fees, you must activate the Non-Order Fees entity on the Entity Settings tab of the Amazon Stores (BC201020) form.

  2. Map the Amazon non-order fees.

    Initially, when no non-order fees are mapped, the synchronization of the Non-Order Fees entity fails. The Amazon connector adds a row for each supported non-order fee to the Amazon Fees table of the Payment Settings tab and populates the Fee Type column. You must map each Amazon fee type with an ERP entry type, which is defined on the Entry Types (CA203000) form.

    An entry type can be used in the fee mapping if it meets the following criteria:

    • The entry type has the Disbursement or Receipt type.
    • A default offset account has been specified for the entry type.
    • For the cash account specified in the mapping for the Amazon payment method in the upper table, the entry type has been added on the Cash Accounts (CA202000) form.

Synchronizing Non-Order Fees

Amazon fees that are not related to any particular Amazon order are imported during the synchronization of the Non-Order Fees entity. Imported non-order fees are displayed as a cash transaction on the Cash Transactions (CA304000) form.

The Sync Record Details dialog box of the Sync History (BC301000) form displays the following information about imported non-order fees:

  • The ERP ID column: the identifier of the cash transactions created for the settlement report
  • The External ID column: the identifier of the settlement report generated by Amazon
