Settlement detail report

Use this report to reconcile your accounts on a transaction level, clear accounts receivable and book costs.

The settlement detail report includes all payments that are settled, i.e. paid to you by Adyen.

The report specifies:

Gross/net settlement amount for captures - Which transactions paid out, and how much.
Refunds.
Chargebacks (where present).
Fee totals.
Deposit corrections.
Total settled amount.

Use this report to validate funds received and account for refunds and adjustments, understand withheld costs for each transaction, book payment costs (chargebacks, reversals, and associated costs) and clear your accounts receivable balance.

The report is generated with settlement batches paid to your merchant accounts. Payments are settled periodically to your bank account (see settlement payout and charges) and are reported on your bank statement:

The batch number in the settlement to your bank corresponds to the batch number in the settlement detail report. For example: https://ca-live.adyen.com/reports/download/MerchantAccount/[yourMerchantAccountName]/settlement_detail_report_batch_4.csv

Columns

A report is broken into multiple columns, each of which represent data associated with a payment. Each field takes a specific data type.

For most fields, there is no limit imposed on the length of the field and that the value should be taken as a practical guideline. Fields that do have a limit are marked below.

#	Column	Data type	Description
1	Company Account	Unicode Text (80-character)	Name of your company account as registered in the Adyen payments platform.
2	Merchant Account	Unicode Text (80-character)	Name of your merchant account used to process the original payment request.

Maximum length: 16 characters. In some cases, the modification reference returned for records of `Type` Chargeback may be the same as the reference returned when the payment was captured. This is expected behavior. For records of `Type` MerchantPayout, this is a text description containing Account code, batch # and the unique payout reference (TX...XT), which can also be found on the bank statement. Maximum length: 256 characters.
10	Gross Currency *	Alpha Text (3-character limit)	Three character ISO code for the currency which was used for processing the payment (transaction currency).

13	Exchange rate	Floating point number	Exchange rate used for converting the gross amount into the net amount. This will be 1 if you process and settle in the same currency. For externally settled payments, the listed Exchange rate is Adyen's reference exchange rate, not the actual rate applied by the external acquirer.
14	Net Currency	Alpha Text (3-character limit)	Three character ISO code for the currency which was used for processing the payment (settlement currency).

17	Commission (NC)	Fixed point number	The commission fee that was withheld by the acquirer. This should be the difference between the gross and net amounts.

If the Acquirer does not provide the transaction information at interchange level, Adyen populates the total commission in column 17. In this case, columns 18, 19, and 20 are empty. For externally settled refunds (for example, amex refunds), this amount will be negative. If you are automating your reconciliation, make sure your system can handle negative values.

Types of report lines

Transaction lines

Each transaction is represented by an entry. Each entry is on a separate line in the report. Each transaction line in the report describes the status of the transaction, and the reason why it was included in the settlement batch. For example: Settled or Refunded.

TestCompany,TestMerchant,1813702551707653,3vpzf7,visa,2013-06-03 11:26:49,CET,Settled,1713702551795048,GBP,,5.00,1,GBP,,4.88,,0.04,0.01,0.07,visaclassic,,,,,,,,,

Transaction fees

A transaction fee line is an entry in the report providing information on chargeable fees. A settlement report includes a transaction fee line for each month that has transactions in the settlement batch.

Deposit corrections

If Adyen requires a deposit, this is filled by withholding settlements until the deposit amount is met.

The deposit is a variable amount that may increase or decrease, due to changing risk figures. On a change, a DepositCorrection line item is included. This line can be a credit or a debit.

TestCompany,TestMerchant,,,,2012-05-10 05:37:03,CET,DepositCorrection,Deposit Correction,EUR,,,,EUR,78.93,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Apart from the deposit held by Adyen, a separate register is created for refunds, payouts or chargebacks. The Reserve is a way of keeping some of your funds in your account, to be made available for refunds, chargebacks or third-party payouts that Adyen processes on your behalf. A ReserveAdjustment line item is included in the settlement detail report. This line can have a credit or a debit to reflect either a release of funds into the payable or a move of funds to the Reserve register. Learn more about the changes to the Reserve balance.

Invoice deduction lines

At the end of each month, Adyen calculates the final invoice amount. It may happen that we either charged you too much, or too little. For example, this scenario can occur if you apply tiered pricing.

For invoices related to POS hardware sales and POS related services, no amount is deducted throughout the month, and therefore the total amount is deducted from settlement. The outstanding amounts are deducted from the next settlement batch.

To balance it, we book an InvoiceDeduction line item in the settlement detail report, when necessary. The reference includes the invoice number associated with the invoice deduction followed by a descriptive explanation.

Descriptive explanations are:

"Discounts and additional costs" for processing invoices.
"Terminal hardware sale invoice amount" for POS hardware sales.
"Terminal services invoice amount" for POS related services.

In this example, Invoice 201111000553 refers to the invoice number mentioned in the invoice of the given month. The amount may appear with debit or credit columns.

Transfer lines

An entry documenting a funds transfer to your bank account. The net debit/merchant payout field holds the total amount paid out to your account, followed by the currency.

In this example, Adyen paid out 1842.21 EUR to the TestMerchant merchant account. TX4313726XT batch 4, TestMerchant is the message included in the bank statement.
