# Important note about discrepancies for Amazon

There are known small discrepancies between AnyX Sales Channel and filtered Amazon reports when compared with Amazon's own Business Report.

These not due to reporting errors or failing to pull data but rather differing reporting definitions and  the influencer of currency conversions.

{% hint style="info" %}
Beyond the differences explained below, the influence of currency conversions on AnyX also causes minor discrepancies in overall revenue figures when comparing the data on the analytics module against Amazon's Business Report.
{% endhint %}

### **1. Differences in "Gross Sales" / "Total Sales"**

AnyX's Gross Sales metric is calculated only for orders that have been paid for and account for the pre-discounted value.

Amazon's total product sales metric is calculated including unpaid orders and account for the value after discounts.

**Inclusion in the "Total Revenue" / "Total Sales" metrics**
