Amazon Removes the XML and Original Flat File Settlement Reports on November 11, 2026 — Integrations Must Move to Flat File V2
Effective: November 11, 2026
Sellers whose own SP-API applications, or third-party accounting, reconciliation or profit-analytics tools, still request the XML or original Flat File settlement report types.
Amazon's Selling Partner API changelog says two older settlement report types, the XML Settlement Report and the original Flat File Settlement Report, will be removed for sellers on November 11, 2026, a revised removal date. The Flat File V2 Settlement Report replaces both. Amazon says it carries the same information in fewer columns, and there is no XML replacement. The change applies to all marketplaces, so any accounting, reconciliation or analytics tool that still pulls the old report types needs to be migrated before that date.
Key Points
- On November 11, 2026, the XML Settlement Report (GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_XML) and the Flat File Settlement Report (GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE) will be removed for sellers
- The Flat File V2 Settlement Report (GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2) replaces both and is available now
- Amazon says Flat File V2 offers the same information in fewer columns with streamlined formatting, and no XML replacement report is offered
- The change applies to all marketplaces
- Field mapping changes: price/fee type names map to amount-type, price/fee type values to amount-description, and price/fee amounts to amount; some disjointed amounts may be consolidated
What You Should Do Now
- 1Ask your developer or each accounting/analytics vendor which settlement report type their integration requests
- 2Migrate any integration still using the XML or original Flat File report to the Flat File V2 Settlement Report before November 11, 2026
- 3Update parsing and reconciliation logic for the renamed fields (amount-type, amount-description, amount) and for amounts that may now be consolidated
- 4Since there is no XML replacement, rebuild any XML-based workflows on the flat-file V2 format
