How to map Amazon FBA fees to Tally ledgers accurately
Detailed workflows to ensure every logistics, storage, and FBA fulfillment fee is correctly accounted for.
If you sell on Amazon through FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), your settlement report contains an overwhelming number of micro-transactions. From Pick & Pack fees to long-term storage fees, understanding exactly where your margin goes is critical.
1. Identify the Core FBA Deductions
Amazon groups its fees into several categories. You need dedicated Tally Ledgers for:
- FBA Fulfillment Fees (Pick & Pack)
- Fulfillment Network Storage Fees
- Inbound Transportation Fees
- FBA Return Fees
2. Mapping the Transaction Codes
In your Amazon Settlement V2 report, the amount-type and amount-description columns dictate the ledger. For instance, any row where amount-type is FBA Inventory Placement Service should map to your "FBA Storage" expense ledger.
3. GST Implications of FBA Fees
FBA fees are an expense to you, but Amazon charges GST (usually 18% IGST or 9% CGST/SGST depending on state). You must record this GST component correctly in Tally to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). If you dump the gross fee into an expense ledger, you lose that ITC.
