Vendor retail analytics reports - lacking cross-regional view

[Cptoldd]

Hello,

Currently Vendor Central retail analytics dashboard allows to select multiple accounts and it is actually suggested to do so to get data with accounted cross region adjustments:

We are not able to do that in API and therefore we are only getting partial data from Vendor retail analytics reports. For example on one account we are missing 50% of sales in reports downloaded from API compared to what we can see when enabling cross-regional view in vendor central dashboard. Therefore API reports seem completly useless as they are missing so much data.

Are there any plans to enable cross-regional view in Vendor retail analytics reports in Reports API?

Hello @Cptoldd,

I would recommend relying on Data Kiosk API for Vendor Analytics as it has a more comprehensive easier mechanism of fetching data. The Vendor Analytics dataset has three new GroupByAttributes:

• shipToCountryCode
• shipToCity
• shipToStateOrProvince

You can use these attributes to determine the location to which items are shipped.

I would suggest going over Vendor Analytics Use Case Guide for Data Kiosk as well as the Building Data Kiosk workflows guide.

We have a Youtube video explaining the workflow.

We also have an end to end sample solution on Data Kiosk in our Github Repo here: https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-samples/tree/main/use-cases/data-kiosk

I hope this helps,
