About this report
This report is based on the time zone setting of your account.
See Downloading reports.
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

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,,,,,,,,,TestCompany,TestMerchant,1313642467023511,324959451,visa,2013-03-26 22:37:26,CET,Chargeback,2313642467170922,EUR,349.99,,1,EUR,357.49,,7.5,,,,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.
TestCompany,TestMerchant,,,,2013-06-11 04:55:40,CET,Fee,Transaction Fees May 2013,EUR,,,,GBP,1.46,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,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.

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.
