PODS for Ops

See what to chase across fees, settlements, returns, stock and imports.

Ops works from the same orders as Finance: fees against expected, unsettled orders by age, returns, stock movement and the reports that haven’t arrived.

What Ops can check

Six questions, answered from the same orders.

Were we charged the right fees?

Fee Reco compares fees charged with Amazon’s expected fees by order and product, and splits the result into perfect, over, under and not comparable.

What hasn’t settled?

Settlement Ageing groups unsettled orders by age and marks the older buckets Chase. The settlement register shows unmatched lines and discrepancies for each settlement.

Is the data complete?

Import health shows required-report coverage, missing report days, failed runs and how fresh each report is, so a gap shows up as a gap.

What came back?

Returns, refunds and cancellations show return events, reasons, sellable and unsellable units and the cancellation rate.

What moved in stock?

Stock Overview shows fulfillable, reserved, unfulfillable and inbound units. The Ledger lists movements by event type and fulfilment centre.

What changed since last period?

Anomalies compares a period with the previous one, with per-ASIN and per-brand drill-downs and a CSV download.

How Ops uses it

Reconcile first, then chase, check and confirm.

Step 1 · Reconcile and fees

Start with what does not tie.

Reconcile by order, payment, product and fee, then use Compare and Exceptions to see what needs a look. The Orders table puts actual and calculated settlement side by side.

  • Order, Payment, Product and Fee reconciliation
  • Compare and Exceptions
  • Fee Reco: perfect, over, under and not comparable

Step 2 · Settlements

Chase what hasn’t been paid.

Settlement Ageing buckets unsettled orders by age. The settlement register lists each settlement with its lines, unmatched lines and discrepancies, and the order-wise view shows days unsettled.

  • Settlement register
  • Order-wise settlement

Stock Overview, the Ledger and Warehousing cover stock. Returns, refunds and cancellations cover what came back, with reasons and sellable or unsellable units.

  • Inventory: All Products, Stock Overview, Ledger & Adjustments, Warehousing
  • Sales: Returns, Refunds and Cancellations

Step 5 · Inputs

Check the inputs before you trust the numbers.

Required-report coverage

Shows which required reports have been imported and which are still missing, and says reconciliation is incomplete until they arrive.

Freshness

Each report type is marked fresh, stale, overdue or never imported against its expected cadence.

Failed and partial runs

Import Centre keeps a run history. You can upload a report or pull one from Amazon, and download the history as CSV.
