Explaining Developer proceeds

Hello everyone,

Recently I was asked to pull our sales data into our system on a daily bases, since there is a direct API to do that, it seemed a trivial task, but this quickly turned into a rabbit hole.

requesting sales reports from the following API link

https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/salesReports

can some one please elaborate on explaining the meanings of some fields? I know the meanings of the fields since they are well documented, but:

1- why is the number of units some times it's 1 and some times it goes in hundreds ? we don't sell the items in quantity of more than 1, and when the units are more than one, the developer proceeds is not multiplied by the units count

2- Developer proceeds should be 70% since apple takes 30% cut and 85% when the user has been subsribed for more than one year, that's never the case!

most of the records give us 60% and 70% WHEN it's more than one year subscription, regardless of the currency or the count, it's never solid number, always 61.4% or some weird number that I couldn't explain

3- as I understood there is no way to pull the financial reports from the API, making this task impossible without the currency exchange

thank you in advance

Could you answer your questions. I'm looking for the invoices regarding the amount that was transfered.

did you ever figure out this. I'm confused too.

I'm confused too.

The usual source of confusion is tax, i.e. VAT, which is also deducted from the customer price.
