Amazon Business Reports help sellers understand whether sales changes are being caused by traffic, conversion, Featured Offer visibility, pricing, inventory, or product-level performance. Instead of treating every sales decline as an advertising problem, sellers can use report data to identify the specific stage of the customer journey that requires attention.
This guide explains the main Amazon Business Reports metrics used by Indian sellers, including Sessions, Page Views, Units Ordered, Ordered Product Sales, Unit Session Percentage, Order Item Session Percentage, and Featured Offer Percentage. It also provides practical diagnosis tables, formulas, review routines, and action plans.
Amazon may update report names, layouts, calculations, and navigation. Sellers should always verify the current definitions displayed in their own Seller Central account.
What Are Amazon Business Reports?
Amazon Business Reports are performance reports available in Seller Central. They combine sales and product-detail-page traffic information so sellers can analyse account-level, date-level, SKU-level, parent-ASIN, and child-ASIN performance.
Business Reports can help answer questions such as:
- Are fewer shoppers visiting the listings?
- Are shoppers visiting but not purchasing?
- Has the Featured Offer percentage declined?
- Which ASIN caused the sales drop?
- Which parent variation family is performing best?
- Are orders growing faster than revenue?
- Is average selling price declining?
- Is the issue temporary, seasonal, or operational?
Where to Find Business Reports in Seller Central
- Sign in to Amazon Seller Central.
- Open the Reports menu.
- Select Business Reports.
- Choose a report by date, by ASIN, or another available report.
- Select the required date range.
- Configure the visible columns.
- Download the report when spreadsheet analysis is required.
The available reports and navigation may vary by account, marketplace, programme, and Seller Central interface.
Main Types of Amazon Business Reports
Sales Dashboard
The sales dashboard provides a quick view of account-level sales and order trends. It is useful for identifying sudden changes before moving to detailed ASIN analysis.
Sales and Traffic by Date
This report helps sellers compare performance across days, weeks, months, or custom periods. Use it to identify when a decline or spike started.
Detail Page Sales and Traffic by ASIN
This is one of the most useful reports for product-level analysis. It helps compare Sessions, Page Views, Units Ordered, sales, conversion, and Featured Offer performance by ASIN or SKU.
Sales and Traffic by Parent ASIN
This report groups variation families under the parent ASIN. It helps determine whether the full product family is growing and which child variation is driving or reducing performance.
Sales and Traffic by Child ASIN
Child-ASIN analysis is useful for colour, size, pack, capacity, or style variations. It can reveal stock gaps, weak images, price differences, or an unbalanced variation family.
Seller Performance or SKU Views
Depending on the report interface, sellers may be able to analyse SKU-level performance and download data for offline reconciliation.
Important Amazon Business Report Metrics
Sessions
Sessions represent customer visits to Amazon product detail pages during the reporting period. A shopper may view the same page multiple times during one visit, which can result in more Page Views than Sessions.
Sessions are commonly used as the main traffic indicator.
Page Views
Page Views represent the number of product-detail-page views recorded during the selected period. One Session may produce multiple Page Views.
A rising Page Views-to-Sessions relationship may indicate that shoppers are returning to the page or viewing it multiple times, but it should not be interpreted without considering orders and conversion.
Session Percentage
Session Percentage indicates the share of total sessions attributed to a product or group of products in the selected report.
It helps compare relative traffic distribution across the catalogue.
Page View Percentage
Page View Percentage indicates the share of total page views attributed to a product or group of products in the report.
Units Ordered
Units Ordered represents the quantity ordered during the selected period. One order item may contain more than one unit.
Total Order Items
Total Order Items counts order-line items rather than total product quantity. This distinction matters when customers purchase multiple units in one order item.
Ordered Product Sales
Ordered Product Sales represents the value of product orders recorded for the selected period according to the Business Reports methodology.
Business Reports can be updated for cancellations, so sellers should avoid treating very recent figures as final financial settlement values.
Average Selling Price
Average Selling Price can be estimated as:
Ordered Product Sales Units Ordered
This helps identify whether revenue growth is being driven by more units, a higher selling price, or both.
Average Units per Order Item
This metric shows the average quantity purchased per order item.
Units Ordered Total Order Items
Unit Session Percentage
Unit Session Percentage is commonly used as a product-detail-page conversion indicator based on units ordered and sessions.
Units Ordered Sessions x 100
Because customers can order more than one unit, Unit Session Percentage may differ from an order-based conversion rate.
Order Item Session Percentage
Order Item Session Percentage is an order-item-based conversion metric. It is useful when the seller wants to evaluate how frequently Sessions produce order items rather than total units.
Featured Offer Percentage
Featured Offer Percentage-previously commonly called Buy Box Percentage-indicates the percentage of eligible product Page Views where the seller's offer appeared as the Featured Offer.
A lower percentage can reduce the seller's opportunity to receive orders, especially when multiple sellers offer the same product.
B2B Metrics
Amazon Business reports may include B2B versions of sales, traffic, conversion, and Featured Offer metrics. These help sellers analyse orders placed by Amazon Business customers separately.
Amazon Business Reports KPI Formula Table
| KPI | Practical formula | Business use |
|---|---|---|
| Unit Session Percentage | Units Ordered Sessions x 100 | Measures units generated from product-detail-page traffic |
| Average Selling Price | Ordered Product Sales Units Ordered | Tracks price and sales-mix changes |
| Average Units per Order Item | Units Ordered Total Order Items | Measures quantity purchased per order item |
| Revenue per Session | Ordered Product Sales Sessions | Shows how efficiently traffic produces revenue |
| Sales Growth | (Current Sales - Previous Sales) Previous Sales x 100 | Measures period-over-period sales change |
| Session Growth | (Current Sessions - Previous Sessions) Previous Sessions x 100 | Measures traffic change |
| Unit Growth | (Current Units - Previous Units) Previous Units x 100 | Measures volume change |
How to Diagnose a Sales Drop
Start with the relationship between Sessions, conversion, Featured Offer Percentage, stock, and price.
| Observed pattern | Likely problem area | Checks to perform |
|---|---|---|
| Sales down, Sessions down, conversion stable | Traffic problem | Organic ranking, advertising, seasonality, indexing, suppressed listings |
| Sales down, Sessions stable, conversion down | Conversion problem | Price, images, reviews, content, delivery promise, competition |
| Sales down, Featured Offer Percentage down | Offer competitiveness problem | Total price, stock, fulfilment, delivery, seller performance |
| Sessions down on one ASIN only | Product-specific visibility problem | Keyword rank, ads, indexing, category, listing status |
| Units down but sales value stable | Price or product-mix change | Average selling price, premium variants, discounts |
| Units stable but sales value down | Lower selling price or sales mix | Discounts, repricing, lower-priced variants |
| Traffic high but orders low | Poor product-page conversion | Listing quality, price, reviews, delivery, variation selection |
| Featured Offer strong but Sessions low | Demand or discoverability problem | SEO, ads, category demand, search volume |
| Sessions and conversion strong but sales capped | Inventory constraint | Stock availability, restock timing, regional availability |
How to Analyse Sessions
Sessions should be reviewed at account, parent-ASIN, child-ASIN, and SKU level.
When Sessions Decline
Check:
- Advertising spend and campaign status
- Search-term ranking
- Listing indexing
- Suppressed or inactive listings
- Category demand and seasonality
- Price competitiveness
- Ratings and review changes
- Out-of-stock history
- Organic content changes
- Competitor promotions
When Sessions Increase but Sales Do Not
This commonly indicates that traffic quality or conversion has weakened.
Review:
- Main image relevance
- Title clarity
- Price and discount
- Featured Offer eligibility
- Delivery promise
- Ratings and recent reviews
- Variation availability
- Product description and A+ Content
- Return-related customer concerns
- Advertising search-term relevance
How to Analyse Unit Session Percentage
Do not compare conversion across unrelated categories without context. Conversion can vary by price, category, season, product maturity, traffic source, brand strength, and purchase frequency.
Conversion Should Be Compared Against:
- The same ASIN's previous period
- Similar products in the same category
- Comparable price bands
- Organic and advertising changes
- In-stock periods
- Featured Offer availability
Common Reasons Conversion Falls
- Price increased
- Coupon or promotion ended
- Featured Offer percentage declined
- Delivery became slower
- Ratings declined
- Negative reviews increased
- Main image became less effective
- Listing content is incomplete
- Incorrect variation is selected by default
- Traffic became less relevant
- Competitors launched stronger offers
How to Analyse Featured Offer Percentage
Featured Offer Percentage should be reviewed together with Sessions, Units Ordered, price, stock, and seller performance.
Possible Reasons for a Decline
- Total price is not competitive
- Shipping charges increased
- Delivery speed became less competitive
- Inventory is unavailable in relevant locations
- Seller performance declined
- The offer became ineligible
- A competing seller improved its offer
- A pricing-health issue occurred
- The product was out of stock during part of the period
Featured Offer eligibility does not guarantee placement. Competing eligible offers may rotate based on Amazon's systems.
By-Date vs By-ASIN Analysis
| Report view | Best used for |
|---|---|
| By Date | Identifying the day or week when performance changed |
| By ASIN | Identifying the products responsible for the change |
| By Parent ASIN | Understanding variation-family performance |
| By Child ASIN | Finding weak sizes, colours, packs, or styles |
| By SKU | Analysing seller-specific offer, stock, fulfilment, and price |
Parent and Child ASIN Analysis
Variation products should be analysed at both parent and child level.
Parent-Level Questions
- Is the complete variation family gaining traffic?
- Is total family conversion improving?
- Did a bestseller go out of stock?
- Did the variation structure change?
- Has traffic shifted to a different child?
Child-Level Questions
- Which colour or size receives the most Sessions?
- Which child has the strongest conversion?
- Which child loses the Featured Offer?
- Which child is out of stock?
- Which image, price, or review profile is weaker?
How to Compare Reporting Periods Correctly
Use comparable periods:
- Yesterday vs the same weekday last week
- Last 7 days vs the previous 7 days
- Last 30 days vs the previous 30 days
- Current event period vs the same event period
- Current month vs the same month last year, where suitable
Avoid comparing a major sale day with a normal day without labelling the promotional effect.
Recommended Operational Alert Framework
The following are example internal alerts, not Amazon policy thresholds. Sellers should adjust them according to category, product maturity, margins, and normal volatility.
| Metric | Example internal alert | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | Decline greater than 15% vs comparable period | Identify ASIN and funnel stage causing the decline |
| Sessions | Decline greater than 20% | Check visibility, indexing, ads, stock, and seasonality |
| Featured Offer Percentage | Below the seller's normal level; high-priority review below 95% for key SKUs | Review total price, delivery, eligibility, and stock |
| Unit Session Percentage | Below the ASIN's established baseline | Review listing, pricing, reviews, and traffic quality |
| Revenue per Session | Meaningful decline vs previous period | Check conversion and average selling price |

Common Reporting Mistakes
Looking Only at Sales
Sales alone do not show whether the issue began with traffic, conversion, Featured Offer visibility, or inventory.
Using an Unfair Comparison Period
Weekends, events, promotions, and seasonal demand can distort comparisons.
Treating Very Recent Data as Final
Recent Business Reports data may be updated for cancellations and other processing changes.
Comparing Unrelated Categories
Conversion and traffic patterns vary significantly across product categories and price points.
Ignoring Child Variations
One out-of-stock or weak child ASIN can affect the complete variation family's performance.
Confusing Business Reports with Settlement Reports
Business Reports support sales and traffic analysis. Payment and settlement reports are used for financial reconciliation.
Assuming Advertising Is Always the Cause
A sales decline can also be caused by stock, price, listing suppression, reviews, delivery, or Featured Offer loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do Sessions mean in Amazon Business Reports?
Sessions represent customer visits to Amazon product detail pages during the selected reporting period.
2. What is the difference between Sessions and Page Views?
A Session represents a customer visit, while Page Views count product-page views. One Session may contain multiple Page Views.
3. What is Unit Session Percentage?
It is a conversion indicator based on Units Ordered divided by Sessions, expressed as a percentage.
4. Is Unit Session Percentage the same as order conversion rate?
Not exactly. It uses units, so an order containing multiple units can affect the result differently from an order-item-based rate.
5. What is Featured Offer Percentage?
It indicates the percentage of applicable product Page Views where the seller's offer appeared as the Featured Offer.
6. Why are sales down when Sessions are stable?
Possible causes include lower conversion, Featured Offer loss, price changes, slower delivery, weaker reviews, or listing-quality problems.
7. Why are Sessions down?
Possible causes include lower organic rank, reduced advertising, seasonality, stockouts, listing suppression, indexing problems, or weaker category demand.
8. Which report should I use for ASIN analysis?
Use a Detail Page Sales and Traffic by ASIN report and compare parent, child, and SKU-level data where available.
9. Are Business Reports suitable for settlement reconciliation?
No. Use Amazon payment and settlement reports for financial reconciliation. Business Reports are primarily for sales and traffic analysis.
10. How frequently should sellers review Business Reports?
High-volume sellers may review key metrics daily, complete product-level reviews weekly, and conduct broader strategic analysis monthly.
11. What is a good Unit Session Percentage?
There is no universal target for every product. Compare the ASIN against its historical baseline and similar products in the same category and price range.
12. Can DigiCommerce create an Amazon performance dashboard?
Yes. DigiCommerce can support report extraction, KPI definitions, ASIN-level diagnostics, dashboard development, and action tracking.
Conclusion
Amazon Business Reports are most valuable when sellers connect each metric to a decision. Sessions explain traffic, Unit Session Percentage helps evaluate conversion, Featured Offer Percentage indicates offer visibility, and sales metrics show the final commercial result.
A disciplined review process should move from account-level sales to date-level trends, then to parent, child, ASIN, and SKU-level diagnosis. Sellers should compare fair periods, document operational causes, and measure whether corrective actions improve the affected metric.
