- Removal date: November 11, 2026
TL;DR
| Deprecated item | Removal date | Replacement | Migration risk | Scanner detection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows | November 11, 2026 | Document archived-report handling and migrate active workflows to Flat File V2 | Archive confusion can keep unsupported report paths alive long after the production migration should be complete. | AMZ-SET-ARCHIVE-001, AMZ-SET-REPORT-001 |
Official status
Amazon documentation lists Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows as in-scope for this migration. Use the official source before code freeze because deadlines and replacement details can change.

Production Settlement validation plan
Settlement migration is a finance parser rebuild. The production gate is not simply requesting the new report type; it is proving that amount rows, currencies, descriptions and totals reconcile under realistic sample files.
| Validation area | Production proof to collect |
|---|---|
| Report type | Confirm no code path still requests XML or the legacy flat-file report type. |
| Parser contract | Parse by header name and retain amount-type, amount-description, amount and currency together. |
| Locale handling | Validate decimal comma and decimal point samples with deterministic decimal arithmetic. |
| Accounting totals | Reconcile principal, fees, refunds and transfers before replacing close workflows. |
Quick answer
GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE archived re-request API usually means teams are trying to recover historical settlement data while also replacing legacy XML or flat-file paths. The fastest check is: Identify whether the question is about historical archives or future settlement generation.
| Symptom | Fast check | Likely owner |
|---|---|---|
| teams are trying to recover historical settlement data while also replacing legacy XML or flat-file paths. | Identify whether the question is about historical archives or future settlement generation. | API/platform owner plus finance, orders or support reviewer as applicable. |
Why this happens
This troubleshooting page is tied to Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows, not a generic SP-API failure.
| Cause | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Cause 1 | The code assumes archived legacy reports can be regenerated through the same request path. |
| Cause 2 | The runbook mixes Seller Central UI recovery with automated SP-API retrieval. |
| Cause 3 | The migration does not distinguish historical archive needs from future Flat File V2 close jobs. |
| Cause 4 | The archive process lacks checksum or reconciliation evidence. |
How to detect it in your code
Search the source, scheduled jobs, generated clients, report configuration and sample fixtures before assuming the issue is only live data.
const archived = await findHistoricalSettlementReport(settlementId);
if (!archived) recordManualArchiveFallback(settlementId);Fix checklist
- Separate historical archive recovery from future Flat File V2 migration.
- Record whether the archived report is available through API, UI or manual finance export.
- Attach checksum and period metadata for any recovered archive.
- Do not keep legacy XML report code active for future settlements.
- Validate current Flat File V2 parser independently.
- Re-scan for legacy settlement report constants.
Migration risk
Archive confusion can keep unsupported report paths alive long after the production migration should be complete.
| Production surface | Risk if ignored |
|---|---|
| Accounting/order/support workflow | Archive confusion can keep unsupported report paths alive long after the production migration should be complete. |
| Release gate | The migration can look complete while the runtime job still fails or silently loses data. |
| Audit evidence | Without a preserved sample, reviewers cannot distinguish an accepted limitation from a migration bug. |
How API Migration Guard checks it
API Migration Guard scans for exact operation names, report type constants, endpoint strings, query parameters, parser assumptions and token/window loops. Paid reports add file-level findings, remediation notes, sample validation steps, CSV/JSON/SARIF exports and an evidence package.
| Rule | Evidence | Validation |
|---|---|---|
| AMZ-SET-ARCHIVE-001, AMZ-SET-REPORT-001 | Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows | Re-scan for legacy settlement report constants. |
Removed resource and replacement
| Old resource | Replacement | Deadline | Validation outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows | Document archived-report handling and migrate active workflows to Flat File V2 | November 11, 2026 | Archive confusion can keep unsupported report paths alive long after the production migration should be complete. |
What breaks
| Area | Breakage |
|---|---|
| Code pattern | Runtime or source evidence points at Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows. |
| Payload or schema | teams are trying to recover historical settlement data while also replacing legacy XML or flat-file paths. |
| Permission or data access | The code assumes archived legacy reports can be regenerated through the same request path. |
| Pagination, status or field mapping | The archive process lacks checksum or reconciliation evidence. |
Before/after example
The example is intentionally small so the migration shape is visible in a code review.
Before:
const archived = await findHistoricalSettlementReport(settlementId);
if (!archived) recordManualArchiveFallback(settlementId);
After:
// Fix path: Document archived-report handling and migrate active workflows to Flat File V2
// Validate with API Migration Guard, sample evidence and a re-scan.Scanner detection
| Rule ID | Severity | Evidence pattern | False positive condition | Validation step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMZ-SET-ARCHIVE-001, AMZ-SET-REPORT-001 | HIGH for runtime error evidence; BLOCKER when tied to removed resources | Archived legacy settlement reports and re-request workflows | Documentation, comments, generated clients or test fixtures can require manual review. | Separate historical archive recovery from future Flat File V2 migration. |
Migration checklist
- Separate historical archive recovery from future Flat File V2 migration.
- Record whether the archived report is available through API, UI or manual finance export.
- Attach checksum and period metadata for any recovered archive.
- Do not keep legacy XML report code active for future settlements.
- Validate current Flat File V2 parser independently.
- Re-scan for legacy settlement report constants.
Common mistakes
- Treating GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE archived re-request API as a transient Amazon outage before checking the request shape.
- Changing code without preserving a sample request, response and report evidence.
- Closing the ticket without re-scanning source and validating the affected sample.

FAQ
How do I fix GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE archived re-request API?
Confirm the request evidence, apply the Document archived-report handling and migrate active workflows to Flat File V2 path, validate the sample and re-scan.
Can API Migration Guard detect GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE archived re-request API?
It detects source patterns related to AMZ-SET-ARCHIVE-001, AMZ-SET-REPORT-001 and shows evidence, remediation notes and validation steps.
Does the free scan call Amazon?
No. It scans uploaded or pasted source statically and can validate pasted samples without Amazon credentials.
When should this become a paid report?
When the free scan finds matching production evidence and the team needs file-level findings, SARIF, CSV or handoff artifacts.
