How do I get all of my KDP sales data into AHS?

Using the KDP Tool:
1. Head to KDP Bookshelf on the KDP site. 
2. Activate the KDP Tool by clicking on it in your browser's bookmarks bar
3. In the pop-up window you'll see a link reading "Start importing historic KDP data". Click that.
4. Please be patient as we pull your entire history into AHS. It can take awhile.

IMPORTANT: KDP only provides us *daily* data going back 90 days. This means all days 91+ will be displayed as monthly data in AHS. So if you choose to look at reports in timeframes that do not include daily data you will not see data for specific days. 

Manually uploading the Lifetime report:

Step 1: Go to https://kdp.amazon.com and sign in.
Step 2: Go to the Reports tab.
Step 3: Click "Royalties Estimator"
Step 4: Select "Lifetime".
Step 5: Click the Generate Report button at the bottom of the page. 
Step 6: Download the report to a place on your computer that's easy to access, like the desktop.
Step 7: Head to AHS
Step 8: Click on the "Choose file" button above.
Step 9: Select the report file you just downloaded.

Please let the report upload without interruption. This step can take a while, depending on the size of your library.
