It used to be pretty easy to create a report showing all orders for the Year To Date (YTD), a very common business report. It is no longer available. The longest non-archival report showing orders can only scan 30 days. When I contacted customer support regarding this issue they basically told me live with it ... here is what you have now.

"Each All Orders report download allows you to download data for a 30-day interval. You may retrieve data for multiple months through additional downloads."

There are too many people sitting around at Amazon with nothing better to do than make it harder on the sellers. Simple business reports that existed worked fine ... if they would just leave things along instead of taking things away. I feel like they would rearrange the deck chairs on a Titanic and start throwing life rafts away just for sake of change. Amazon really needs to include some sellers in their decision process.
