GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2 cannot create report

Official status

Amazon documentation lists GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2 createReport workflow 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.

Quick answer

GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2 cannot create report usually means the job is trying to create a settlement report that Amazon may generate on its own schedule, so createReport can fail even though retrieval is the real migration path. The fastest check is: Search for createReport calls that pass GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2.

Why this happens

This troubleshooting page is tied to GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2 createReport workflow, not a generic SP-API failure.

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.

await reports.createReport({ reportType: 'GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2', marketplaceIds });

Fix checklist

• Find every createReport call that uses GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2.
• Confirm whether the workflow should retrieve an available settlement report instead of creating one.
• Record how the reportId is discovered in production.
• Validate report document download and decompression separately from parser logic.
• Run the Flat File V2 parser against a raw TSV sample.
• Re-scan and attach the fixed retrieval path to the release ticket.

Migration risk

Finance close can be blocked by a loop that repeatedly tries to create a report type that should be retrieved through the proper settlement-report path.

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.

What breaks

Before/after example

The example is intentionally small so the migration shape is visible in a code review.

Before:
await reports.createReport({ reportType: 'GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2', marketplaceIds });

After:
// Fix path: Retrieve Amazon-generated Settlement Flat File V2 reports and validate retrieval logic
// Validate with API Migration Guard, sample evidence and a re-scan.

• Confirm whether the workflow should retrieve an available settlement report instead of creating one.

• Re-scan and attach the fixed retrieval path to the release ticket.

Common mistakes

• Treating GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2 cannot create report 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.
