Why did my KDP revenue change all of a sudden?

Why did my KDP revenue change all of a sudden?

We capture adjustments that Amazon makes to their data in a couple of ways:

1. When you use the KDP Tool we go back and capture five days so we can keep your recent data current on AHS. This often has adjustments from Amazon.
2. When you use the KDP Tool for the first time after a new month begins, we grab 90 days of data. This often has adjustments from Amazon.

The KENP rate can also impact your revenue on AHS. For the current month (where the rate is not yet available) we average three months of KENP rates as an estimate. Once the KENP rate is reported for the previous month, we'll head in and update it which will change your numbers to be more accurate with what Amazon will pay out.

While The Author Helper Suite strives to be 100% accurate, this isn't possible with factors such as exchange rates and KENP rates across countries.
