Overview

This node operation retrieves VAT invoice reports from the Amazon Selling Partner API. It allows users to download VAT invoice data reports in either flat file (tab-delimited) or XML format for specified EU/UK marketplaces. Users can specify the report type, marketplace ID, date range, and additional report options such as filtering for pending invoices or including all invoice statuses. The node supports returning the report as raw binary data or parsing flat file reports into JSON arrays. This operation is useful for sellers or accountants who need to access detailed VAT invoice data for tax reporting and compliance purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. A seller wants to download a flat file VAT invoice report for Amazon.co.uk for the last month to reconcile VAT payments.
  2. An accountant needs to retrieve XML VAT invoice data for Amazon.de to integrate with their accounting software.
  3. A user wants to get only pending invoices in the VAT report for Amazon.fr and receive the report as a binary file for archival.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure correct marketplace ID is selected to avoid empty or invalid reports.
  • Verify date range is valid and supported by the report type to prevent errors or empty results.
  • If parsing CSV to JSON, ensure the report type is a flat file format; XML reports cannot be parsed this way.
  • Check API credentials and permissions to avoid authentication errors when accessing the Amazon Selling Partner API.
  • If report generation takes too long, adjust max poll time and poll interval settings to balance wait time and API usage limits.
