Financial Dashboard and FAQs

Last updated 2025-09-22

This section provides a walkthrough and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Financial Dashboard for Prime Video studio partners (also known as managed partners) and Prime Video Direct (PVD) content providers. The Financial Dashboard offers three types of reports: Earnings, Payments, and Invoices. You can use it to reconcile invoices and remittances for monthly VOD and Channels royalty payments.

Note: The Financial Dashboard is now fully integrated with the Slate portal. You can access any of the Financial Dashboard reports from the Financial dropdown menu. You can also still view business reports and performance metrics by clicking the Insights dropdown and selecting Reports.

Frequently asked questions

Financial dashboard FAQs

To help with reconciliation of Financial Dashboard to invoices or payments, we’ve added several columns in the Reports > Financial tab view within Slate. These include:

Invoice-related columns: Earnings reference ID and Invoice number. These help with reconciliation of earnings activity to invoices.
Payment-related columns: Estimated payment date, Payment status, Payment ID, and Payment Date. These help with reconciliation of earnings activity to remittances/payments, and help you understand when a payment is due.
Currency-related columns: Exchange rate (non-local), License fee (non-local), and License fee currency (non-local). These help with reconciliation of earnings reporting in local currency to payments made in a non-local currency. For definitions of each column, see the Description tab within the Reports > Financial view.

In Financial Dashboard, go to Reports > Financial view, and then select the tab of the desired business line. Apply filters for the months, Territories, Invoice, Payment ID, and so on. Prior period adjustments can be identified by filtering the Version type column to show only lines with CORRECTION. The date of the original transaction that a line refers to is shown in the Customer transaction date column. Related invoice and payment details are shown in the Invoice number, Payment ID, and Payment date columns, respectively.

Select the tab of the desired business line to view the Financial Dashboard.
The default view shows all earning accrual activity for your business.
To only view financial reporting for specific months, filter the Statement period column for the desired months.
You can add additional filters by Territory, Payment, Invoice IDs, and Payment status as you search for activity related to specific activities. We now refer to these reports as “financial reports” due to the additional invoice and payment data they contain.

Payments FAQs

The remittance information can be downloaded by going to the Invoices > Remittances tab. Search for the desired payment using the Payment date column or by searching for the Payment amount onscreen. When you locate the desired payment, click the more options icon. The pop-up window that appears is equivalent to the remittance statement received by email, with details on the payment value, date, Payment ID, and the Bank transaction ID.

Each line shown in your remittance email message is equivalent to an invoice for each earning or adjustment that can be viewed in Slate’s Financial Dashboard. It can be used to reconcile to the financial reporting behind it. Search for the Payment ID shown in your remittance message within the Invoices > Remittances view to view a summary of invoices behind the payment that is equivalent to the remittance statement received by email. You can validate using the Payment value, Date, Payment ID, and Bank transaction ID.

Invoices FAQs

To find the financial reporting/earnings activity behind an invoice, go to the Invoices > Paid invoices tab within the Financial Dashboard. For your desired invoice, click the more options icon, and then click View detailed earnings. The Financial Dashboard appears with the filters pre-set to show only the earnings activity relevant to the invoice selected. You can export the line-level reporting.
