Flipkart Marketplace Reconciliation with ERP

Flipkart marketplace reconciliation helps finance teams compare Flipkart reports with ERP records, identify settlement and sales differences, and produce audit-ready reconciliation reports. Cointab provides a structured workflow for reconciling Flipkart All Order, Sales, Settlement, and Returns reports against your ERP data so your team can review matched, partially matched, unmatched, and skipped transactions in one place.

How Flipkart reconciliation works in Cointab

Cointab uses a Side A / Side B reconciliation model.

• Side A is your internal record, such as ERP, sales ledger, or books data.
• Side B is the external Flipkart report, such as order, sales, settlement, or returns data.

This setup makes it easier to compare what your business recorded with what Flipkart reported, then highlight differences that need review.

Reports typically used for Flipkart ERP reconciliation

A Flipkart reconciliation workflow can include one or more of the following reports:

• Flipkart All Order Report
• Flipkart Sales Report
• Flipkart Settlement Report
• Flipkart Returns Report
• ERP export from systems such as SAP, Tally, or another accounting or finance system

If your team also uses supporting files, Cointab can use them to enrich or prepare the primary reports before reconciliation.

Common supporting data files

Supporting data is optional, but it can make reconciliation easier when Flipkart data needs extra context.

Examples include:

• Product master
• Fee rate file
• Marketplace mapping file
• Return report
• Order metadata
• GST or tax mapping file
• Customer or SKU master

These files are not reconciled directly. They are used to complete missing information, merge datasets, or calculate derived values before the main reconciliation run.

What finance teams compare in a Flipkart reconciliation

Most teams use Flipkart reconciliation to compare order references, amounts, settlements, deductions, returns, and credits across reports. Common checks include:

• Sales booked in ERP versus sales reported by Flipkart
• Settlement amounts versus ledger entries
• Returns and refunds versus internal records
• Order IDs, invoice numbers, settlement IDs, or other identifiers
• Fees, deductions, and net settlement differences

This helps finance teams spot missing entries, delayed settlements, under-recorded amounts, duplicate records, and other exceptions that affect month-end close and reporting.

Reconciliation workflow for Flipkart and ERP data

A typical Cointab workflow for Flipkart marketplace reconciliation looks like this:

1. Upload the required Flipkart and ERP files.
2. Map the relevant fields such as date, amount, and identifier columns.
3. Add optional supporting files if the reconciliation needs enrichment or lookups.
4. Create derived columns if values need to be cleaned, combined, or calculated.
5. Run the reconciliation manually or on a schedule.
6. Review the results in the report dashboard.
7. Download the Excel report for internal review, follow-up, or audit support.

Field mapping for accurate matching

For each primary report, users can map the fields that matter most for reconciliation.

Typical fields include:

• Transaction date
• Amount
• Order ID
• Invoice number
• Settlement ID
• Payment reference
• Other business identifiers used by your team

If a file does not match the configured format, the system can reject it with a clear message so the team knows what needs to be corrected before the run continues.

Derived columns and data preparation

Flipkart and ERP files often need a bit of cleanup before matching is reliable. Cointab lets users create derived columns from existing data so the workflow can handle real-world file variations.

Examples of derived columns include:

• Clean order ID
• Normalized transaction reference
• Net amount after fees
• Delivered payment amount
• Refund amount as negative
• Combined reference field

Users can also create these columns with AI assistance by describing the logic in plain language and generating an Excel-style formula.

What the reconciliation engine checks

Cointab uses structured matching logic to compare Flipkart and ERP records across different scenarios.

The engine can support:

• One-to-one matching
• One-to-many matching
• Many-to-one matching
• Many-to-many matching
• Net-to-net matching
• Contra matching
• Partial matching

It can also compare records using different matching logic, such as exact matches, contains logic, or subset-based comparisons when business identifiers appear across more than one field.

This is useful when:

• One order maps to multiple settlement lines
• Multiple order lines map to one payout or settlement entry
• Identifiers are split across fields
• Amounts need to be netted before comparison
• Returns and deductions affect the final settlement value

How results are categorized

Once the reconciliation finishes, Cointab separates transactions into clear result groups.

Fully matched

These are records where the identifiers and amounts align according to the configured logic.

Partially matched

These are records where the identifiers match, but the amounts do not fully agree. In Flipkart reconciliation, this often points to settlement differences, deductions, refunds, or rounding issues that need review.

Unmatched

These are records that appear on one side but cannot be found on the other side.

Examples include:

• An order appears in Flipkart sales but not in ERP
• A settlement appears in Flipkart data but not in books
• A return or credit appears in ERP but is missing from the marketplace file

Skipped

These are records excluded from reconciliation because they are incomplete, invalid, duplicated, or filtered out by a rule.

Skipped records stay visible so the team can understand what was ignored and why.

Common Flipkart reconciliation differences

A marketplace reconciliation for Flipkart and ERP data often surfaces issues such as:

• Orders present in Flipkart but not recorded in ERP
• Amount differences between sales and ledger entries
• Settlement amounts lower or higher than expected
• Returns, refunds, or credit notes not mapped correctly
• Fee or deduction differences
• Missing or delayed files from a reporting period

These differences are easier to review when they are grouped by matched status instead of being buried in spreadsheets.

Manual match and missed file handling

When the system or AI cannot confidently match a transaction, users can review the open items and manually match records if the totals tally.

If a file was missed during the original run, it can be uploaded under the same reconciliation and the report refreshed. This is useful when Flipkart, finance, or ERP files arrive late and the team still needs a complete period view.

Reusable reconciliation for future periods

Flipkart reconciliation is usually a recurring process. Once the workflow is configured, the same setup can be reused for the next month, quarter, or custom settlement period.

That means your team does not need to rebuild the logic every time. For future runs, you can reuse the same reconciliation, upload the new files, and review the updated report.

Team workflow and reporting

Cointab supports team-based reconciliation workspaces so finance, accounting, and marketplace operations teams can work from a shared setup instead of passing Excel files around.

The report dashboard helps teams review historical runs and see details such as:

• Reconciliation name
• Period
• File set used
• Run status
• Run date and time
• Who ran the reconciliation
• Report download option

This makes it easier to keep an audit trail and revisit prior periods when needed.

When Flipkart reconciliation is most useful

This workflow is useful for teams that regularly review:

• Flipkart sales versus ERP entries
• Flipkart settlements versus books
• Returns and refunds versus internal records
• Marketplace deductions and net payouts
• Period-end and month-end reconciliation

It is especially helpful when multiple files, multiple identifiers, or recurring settlement differences make spreadsheet-based review difficult to maintain.

Summary

Flipkart marketplace reconciliation with ERP is more manageable when it follows a structured, reusable workflow. With Cointab, finance teams can upload their files, map the required fields once, run reconciliation, review exception categories clearly, and keep an audit-ready report available for future reference.
