Amazon settlement files have a variety of types and descriptions to indicate the purpose of the entry.

Order and adjustment types fall into either “Item Price” for credits or “Item Fees” for debits to your deposit. The descriptions on the other hand are quite varied and provide more detailed explanations for the entry.

The other transactions & charges amount types use the generic “other-transaction” label which is not very descriptive. When we run across a situation where both the transaction type and the amount type are both “other transaction” we use the amount description instead. This method provides a better description which clearly indicates the purpose of the charge. Conversely, when the transaction type and amount type are not the same, we use the amount type.

We purposely evaluate each transaction with the goal of selecting the most descriptive label so it is clear to you the purpose of the transaction so you have a better understanding of your settlement and the amount deposited to your account.
