PayPal reports walkthrough
Prerequisites
PayPal reports
The reports in PayPal are based on the template of files fetched from your PayPal SFTP in:
/ppreports/outgoing
You can set all the time-dependent reports using Data Integration built-in time features.
Time-dependent reports
By default, reports exclude the last day so it can be included in the next iteration. Select the Include End Date checkbox to include the last date.
PayPal updates the SFTP folder regularly at 6:00 AM PST at the maximum each day.
Selecting a time period
Time-dependent reports support two kinds of time periods:
- Date range
- Pulls data in the date range between the start and end date provided, including the end date.
- You must select a start date.
- Leaving the end date empty pulls data up to the current time of the river's run.
- Select a timezone offset to use dates considering the offset.
- Use Last Days Back For Each Run to expand the start date and pull data for the number of days before the chosen start date.
- Predefined date
A date range defined by Data Integration:
- Day - Yesterday
- Week (From Monday to Sunday) - Week to date, Previous week, Previous week to date
- Month - Month to date, Previous month, Previous month to date
- Year - year to date
Use case
PayPal can have multiple versions of the same report. The latest version is considered on each date.
