According to Apple's documention for Reporter.jar, (http://help.apple.com/itc/contentreporterguide/en.lproj/static.html) should be able to get Detailed Daily reports but this fails with an incorrect error.

[]$ java -jar Reporter.jar p=Reporter.properties Sales.getReport xxxx, Sales, Detailed, Daily, 20170607

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<Error>

<Message>Invalid vendor number specified. Try again.</Message>

</Error>

If I change Detailed to Summary, it works.

Why can't I get a detailed report?

It's not uncommon for the Reporter tool to give bogus errors. Maybe file a bug if you have time but sometimes waiting awhile and things start working again...is what I do

Still find it friggen preposterous that I have to install Java just for this one tool. They should have just wrote it in C or ObjC.

I think you're looking at outdated docs. Try this: https://help.apple.com/itc/appsreporterguide/#/itcbd9ed14ac

"Detailed" reports are only available for subscription/news apps.
