Reconciliation API overview

What is Reconciliation API?

Reconciliation API provides line item-level reporting to help with reconciliation. This API helps you retrieve Amazon Business purchase information at the transaction level based on the payment method associated with each purchase. Through a one-time integration, you can easily keep track of organizational spend by different payment methods, such as Pay by Invoice (PBI) or credit card, and eliminate manual auditing and record keeping.

Benefits of Reconciliation API

Reconciliation API provides the following benefits:

Save time on reconciliation

Reconciliation API offers an automated solution to streamline Amazon Business purchase reconciliation by delivering detailed transaction data across multiple time periods. It eliminates the need for manually gathering information from the Amazon Business website or inputting data into third-party expense and accounting software.

Improve visibility

With a one-time integration and a few simple activation steps within third-party systems, Reconciliation API enables transaction data to flow directly into your accounting and expense management systems. With this data, you can choose to receive additional line-item details beyond the standard Level 3 data options.

Increase accuracy with line-item details

Reconciliation API provides access to dozens of data fields for both purchases and refunds, including key transaction details such as payment method and the last four digits of the credit card used. This flexibility allows integrators and customers to tailor the data to their specific reconciliation workflows. Additionally, the API returns invoice IDs and invoice dates, making it easier to match transactions with corresponding invoices.

How Reconciliation API works

You can retrieve business transaction and invoice details by sending a request to Reconciliation API.

Reconciliation API provides the following operations:

Operation	Method	Path	Description
`getTransactions`	GET	/reconciliation/2021-01-08/transactions	Returns a paginated list of business transactions with feed dates that fall within the date range that you specify.
