Amazon settlement fields in Odoo: what each one means

The Reconciliation group on each Amazon settlement in Odoo includes, among others, three amounts, a balanced indicator, the journal entry and the bank deposit line. Here is what each one's help says, where you see it and who writes it, because these fields are not typed in: you read and compare them.

Where settlements live and which permission you need

The record for each settlement opens from the menu Amazon › Finances › Settlements (payouts & fees). Every level of that menu asks for the Viewer permission: if you lack it on one of them, you do not see that level. What follows describes the module in Odoo 20; the fields sit in the Reconciliation group of the form.

Reading the three amounts and Reconciled together

Total deposit is what Amazon disbursed for the settlement period. Lines total is the signed sum of every line, and its help says it should equal the total deposit. Variance is the difference between the two: total deposit minus the sum of the lines.

By that definition, a Variance of zero means the lines add up exactly to the deposit. If it is positive, the deposit is larger than the sum of the lines; if it is negative, it is the other way round. Reconciled summarises that check: according to its help, it is true when the lines sum to the deposited total within 1 cent, so a difference of one cent or less does not stop it from being ticked.

Because Reconciled and Total deposit are also in the Settlements list, you can see each settlement's amount and whether it balances from the list, without opening every form.

What you should enter: nothing in the amounts

None of the amounts is an input. The module fills in Total deposit, while Lines total and Variance are read-only. What helps is comparing them:

  • If Variance is not zero, the lines do not add up to the deposit, and that is the figure to explain.
  • If Reconciled is ticked, the difference is within the 1 cent margin its help describes.
  • If Reconciled is not ticked, the difference falls outside that margin.

Who fills in each field

Two of the fields are filled in by the module, among other routes, by a scheduled task and by a button. The two tasks in the table run once a day and are active on install.

FieldScheduled task (every day, active on install)Button
Total depositAmazon SP-API - Sync settlementsSync Settlements
Bank deposit lineAmazon SP-API - Match settlement bank depositsMatch Bank Deposit

Move is filled in by the buttons Post to Accounting and Post anyway (force), and emptied by the button Reverse.

Move and Bank deposit line: two different links

Move holds the journal entry created when the settlement is posted to accounting. If it is reversed with Reverse, the field is emptied.

Bank deposit line is something else: the bank statement line the module identifies as that settlement's deposit, with the same amount and near the deposit date. Its help is clear that it is only a link and a note, and that nothing is reconciled or posted automatically. Two consequences for reading the form:

  • A filled-in field does not mean the bank statement has been reconciled in Odoo.
  • A ticked Reconciled speaks about the lines matching the deposit, not about the bank line.

The help text follows the language of your Odoo

Help texts appear in the language of your Odoo. For example, the help for Total deposit has a published translation into Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese.

Versions and subscription

The module is published on Odoo Apps for Odoo 17, 18, 19 and 20. It is a one-off purchase per version and needs the FlexigoTech Cloud subscription, Connector plan: €49 a month or €490 a year, excluding VAT (the Pro plan is €98 a month or €980 a year, excluding VAT). The connection goes through FlexigoTech Cloud, which stores the credentials encrypted, watches the synchronisation and emails you if it fails. Without a subscription, or with the service suspended, whatever the subscription provides stops; your data stays in your Odoo. You will find the details on the Odoo Apps listing and on the module page.
