Amazon VCS & IDU

Overview

This article explains Amazon VCS (VAT Calculation Service) and IDU (Invoice Document Upload) and how to configure each one in StoreFeeder.

• VCS - Amazon or your eCommerce solution manages and uploads VAT invoices. Amazon provides the data used to calculate VAT.
• IDU - You (or a participating third party) calculate VAT and upload invoices. When enabled in StoreFeeder, invoices are generated using order data from StoreFeeder.

Setting up IDU

You do not need to change anything in Amazon Seller Central for IDU - it is already active on all non-VCS seller accounts by default.

1. Open your Amazon integration in StoreFeeder.
2. Scroll to the Amazon Invoice Settings section.
3. Select StoreFeeder VAT Calculation and Invoicing (IDU) from the dropdown.

1. Save the page.

Setting up VCS Lite

Step 1 - Activate VCS in Amazon Seller Central

1. In Amazon Seller Central, go to Settings > Tax Settings > Activate VAT Calculation.
2. Select I will upload my own VAT invoices.

Tip: If you have previously enrolled in the program, the activation date is fixed. Otherwise, select the date you want VCS to take effect.

Step 2 - Enable VCS in StoreFeeder

VCS is available for Amazon channels connected to the UK, DE, FR, IT, and ES marketplaces.

1. Open the relevant Amazon integration in StoreFeeder.
2. Enable Amazon VCS.

1. Select the invoice source and activation date. Set the activation date to match the date you set in Amazon.

Warning: Misconfiguration that causes invoice uploads to stop while you have declared self-invoicing can result in penalties on your Amazon account.
