Migration assurance
Settlement promotional rebates mapping
Settlement promotional rebates mapping 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 promotional rebates mapping
- Removed: legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns
- Replacement: Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows
- Removal date: November 11, 2026
TL;DR
| Deprecated item | Removal date | Replacement | Migration risk | Scanner detection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns | November 11, 2026 | Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows | Promotion rows can hide in settlement totals and create unexplained deltas against advertising or coupon reports. | AMZ-SET-PROMO-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 |
Official status
Amazon documentation lists legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns 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 promotional rebates mapping should be implemented as a small, reviewable mapping table before release.
| Old field or behavior | New field or behavior | Validation rule |
|---|---|---|
| promotion amount | amount-type Promotion | Keep the row sign and amount-description. |
| rebate reason | amount-description | Map coupon, shipping promotion and promotional rebate separately. |
| order-level discount | order-id plus transaction-type | Join to the order without folding it into principal sales. |
Validation scenario
Validate one order with a coupon, one shipping promotion and one refund where promotion rows reverse.
| Input evidence | Expected proof |
|---|---|
| Source scan finding | AMZ-SET-PROMO-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 promos = rows.filter(r => r['amount-type'] === 'Promotion');
for (const row of promos) ledger.add(row['amount-description'], decimal(row.amount));Removed resource and replacement
| Old resource | Replacement | Deadline | Validation outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns | Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows | November 11, 2026 | Promotion rows can hide in settlement totals and create unexplained deltas against advertising or coupon reports. |
What breaks
| Area | Breakage |
|---|---|
| Code pattern | Code still assumes legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns. |
| Payload or schema | The migration target is Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows, 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 promotion, rebate or discount columns
After:
const promos = rows.filter(r => r['amount-type'] === 'Promotion');
for (const row of promos) ledger.add(row['amount-description'], decimal(row.amount));Scanner detection
| Rule ID | Severity | Evidence pattern | False positive condition | Validation step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMZ-SET-PROMO-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 | HIGH when mapping drift affects accounting, PII or order state | legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns | Documentation, comments, generated clients or test fixtures can require manual review. | Capture one production-like sample for legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns. |
Migration checklist
- Capture one production-like sample for legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns.
- Normalize it into Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows.
- 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 promotional rebates mapping prove?
It should prove that legacy promotion, rebate or discount columns maps safely to Flat File V2 Promotion amount rows 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-PROMO-001, AMZ-SET-RECON-001 evidence and links findings to the relevant mapping or validator page.
