An Amazon settlement report that doesn't match your bank deposit is rarely a sign anything is wrong with your money — it's a sign the report and your bank feed are measuring different things.

Your Seller Central dashboard shows gross sales. Your bank only ever sees the net payout — sales minus referral fees, FBA fees, storage charges, and refunds. If you're booking gross revenue and expecting it to equal the deposit, it never will.
Amazon closes a settlement period, then deposits the money days later — the settlement closing date and the bank deposit date routinely land a week apart. Reconciling against the wrong date means comparing two different two-week windows of activity.
Amazon holds back a rolling reserve based on your return rate and account health, to cover future refunds and A-to-Z claims. That reserve means your settlement's ending balance is not $0 even when every expected payout arrived — which reads as a discrepancy if you don't know to expect it.
FootingKit ingests your Amazon settlement report and produces a QuickBooks- or Xero-ready entry that breaks gross revenue, fees, refunds, and reserve into separate lines, dated to the settlement period, so the total nets to your actual bank deposit. Every payout is verified to net exactly to its bank deposit, or the conversion is flagged and re-run — free.
If the totals still don't match after fixing net-vs-gross and timing, check for a manual payment or refund entered directly in QuickBooks that was never tied to the Amazon report — that's the most common remaining cause, and FootingKit's reconciliation report will flag it as an unmatched line rather than leave it buried in the total.
