Amazon Marketplace Participation (Detail)
The card shows a single Amazon marketplace of your seller account: identifier, country, currency, language and the participation status at Amazon. Most values come from Amazon and cannot be changed. Here you can set what the connector uses the marketplace for and how you invoice its orders.

Enabled Features
FastTab Enabled Features. Here you turn the four switches Use for Orders, Use for Listings, Use for Inventory and Use for Pricing on and off. What they control and how the setup wizard sets them is described under Amazon Marketplace Participations. A marketplace that was only created by Import Marketplaces has all four turned off and is not used for anything.
Invoices
FastTab Invoices. Here you set whether Business Central uploads the invoices of this marketplace to Amazon, and you see when Amazon's VCS report was last imported. VCS is Amazon's VAT Calculation Service. How the upload works is described under Amazon Invoice Uploads, what the VCS reports deliver under Amazon VCS Transactions.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Invoice Upload | How you invoice the orders of this marketplace, as set up in Seller Central: Off (default), Own Invoices without VCS, VCS with Own Invoices or VCS with Amazon Invoices. With own invoices, Business Central uploads every posted invoice of an order of this marketplace to Amazon – with VCS also the credit memos, checked against Amazon's VAT calculation. With Amazon invoices, it uploads nothing; the posted invoices and credit memos then show Amazon's numbers. The selection creates the jobs needed: INVOICE_UPLOAD for own invoices, VCS_REPORTS for both VCS modes. |
| Upload Invoices From | Posting date from which invoices of this marketplace are uploaded automatically. You upload older ones individually with Upload Invoice on the posted sales invoice. If the field is blank when you choose a mode with own invoices, the connector enters today's date. Required as long as the marketplace uploads invoices; cannot be changed with Off and VCS with Amazon Invoices. |
| VCS Report Imported At | When the VCS report of this marketplace was last imported: the invoice data report with VCS with Own Invoices, the VAT calculation report with VCS with Amazon Invoices. The VCS_REPORTS job imports every 6 hours. |
| VCS Report Error | Why the last import of the VCS report failed, or how many lines of the report could not be read (highlighted in red). Blank after an import without errors. |
| VCS Report ID | Report that Amazon is still creating for this marketplace. The next import run fetches it instead of requesting a new one. Only appears with "Show more". |
| VCS Report Requested At | When the report that was last imported or is still being created was requested. Amazon's verdict on an upload only counts if the upload was sent at least six hours before. Only appears with "Show more". |
If you change Invoice Upload, the connector discards a VCS report that was still requested for the previous setting. If the marketplace continues to invoice with VCS, the next run requests the matching report.
