Settlement posted-date-time vs settlement-end-date
Settlement posted-date-time vs settlement-end-date focuses on migration mapping and reconciliation evidence, not generic API copy. Use it to turn a vague migration into a reviewable test case.
- Target keyword: Settlement posted-date-time vs settlement-end-date
- Removed: legacy settlement period date assumptions
- Replacement: Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata
- Removal date: November 11, 2026
TL;DR
| Deprecated item | Removal date | Replacement | Migration risk | Scanner detection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| legacy settlement period date assumptions | November 11, 2026 | Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata | Using posted-date-time as the settlement boundary can shift refunds or adjustments into the wrong close period. | AMZ-SET-DATE-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 |
Official status
Amazon documentation lists legacy settlement period date assumptions 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. |
Mapping table
Settlement posted-date-time vs settlement-end-date should be implemented as a small, reviewable mapping table before release.
| Old field or behavior | New field or behavior | Validation rule |
|---|---|---|
| posted-date-time | row-level transaction timing | Use for when an amount row posted. |
| settlement-end-date | settlement period boundary | Use for close-period grouping and statement comparison. |
| date-only grouping | timezone-aware UTC/local policy | Do not group cross-midnight rows without a documented timezone rule. |
Validation scenario
Validate one settlement containing late refunds or adjustments posted near the period boundary.
| Input evidence | Expected proof |
|---|---|
| Source scan finding | AMZ-SET-DATE-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 points to the old implementation. |
| Sample data | The migration sample covers the field, status, amount or identifier in this page. |
| Reviewer output | A short reconciliation note explains every accepted delta. |
Parser or reconciliation example
Use this as the shape of the unit test or review snippet; adjust names to your codebase.
const periodKey = settlementEndDate;
const rowTime = parsePostedDateTime(row['posted-date-time']);
assert(rowTime <= settlementEndDate.plus(gracePeriod));Removed resource and replacement
| Old resource | Replacement | Deadline | Validation outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| legacy settlement period date assumptions | Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata | November 11, 2026 | Using posted-date-time as the settlement boundary can shift refunds or adjustments into the wrong close period. |
What breaks
| Area | Breakage |
|---|---|
| Code pattern | Code still assumes legacy settlement period date assumptions. |
| Payload or schema | The migration target is Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata, so shape, naming or grouping changes. |
| Permission or data access | Field visibility, role access or accounting availability can differ by marketplace and workflow. |
| Pagination, status or field mapping | Mapping mistakes can hide under successful HTTP responses unless samples are reconciled. |
Before/after example
The example is intentionally small so the migration shape is visible in a code review.
Before:
// Old assumption
legacy settlement period date assumptions
After:
const periodKey = settlementEndDate;
const rowTime = parsePostedDateTime(row['posted-date-time']);
assert(rowTime <= settlementEndDate.plus(gracePeriod));Scanner detection
| Rule ID | Severity | Evidence pattern | False positive condition | Validation step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMZ-SET-DATE-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 | HIGH when mapping drift affects accounting, PII or order state | legacy settlement period date assumptions | Documentation, comments, generated clients or test fixtures can require manual review. | Capture one production-like sample for legacy settlement period date assumptions. |
Migration checklist
- Capture one production-like sample for legacy settlement period date assumptions.
- Normalize it into Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata.
- Run the mapping table against the sample and record unmatched fields.
- Reconcile the expected totals, statuses, identifiers or access flags.
- Attach the mapping output to the migration ticket.
- Re-scan source and keep the sample evidence with the release gate.
Common mistakes
- Mapping field names without proving semantic equivalence.
- Using one happy-path sample instead of boundary samples.
- Skipping re-scan after the mapper or parser is patched.

FAQ
What should Settlement posted-date-time vs settlement-end-date prove?
It should prove that legacy settlement period date assumptions maps safely to Flat File V2 row posted-date-time plus settlement period metadata for the tested workflow.
What evidence belongs in the ticket?
The source finding, mapping table result, sample input, normalized output and reconciliation note.
Can the page replace production validation?
No. It gives the mapping contract and sample gate; production rollout still needs staged validation.
How does the scanner help?
It flags AMZ-SET-DATE-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 evidence and links findings to the relevant mapping or validator page.
