Description
This report lists average quantities for circulation auditing foreditions and audit report IDs for a selected period. You can use thisevaluation internally.
Selection can be restricted according to the following criteria:

• Publication period or shipping/return period

If you specify a shipping/return period, you can exclude issuespublished before the date specified here and delivered subsequently inthe shipping period, in the field 'Backdated deliveries only frompublication date'.
Examples:
You do not make an entry in this field. In this case, the reportincludes all issues delivered subsequently during the shipping periodin the figures.
You specify 1.4.1998 as the date. Here, the report includes all issuesdelivered subsequently in the shipping period and which were publishedon 1.4.1998 or after.
You specify 31.12.9999 as the date. In this case, no issues deliveredsubsequently are included.

• Publication


• Edition


• Report ID (edition)


• Normal delivery country

Country to which the items purchased are delivered provided redirectionor anything similar does not apply.

• Issue variant type

The issue variant type enables you to select for example only Saturdayeditions or all editions except Saturday.

• Incl.issues w/auditing exclusion (Include issues with auditing
exclusion)
This indicator controls whether or not circulation audit data is to beincluded for issues in which the circulation audit exclusion indicatoris selected. If you select this indicator, the report includes issueswhere the exclusion indicator is selected.

• Sales organization


• Distribution channel


• Product division

Output can be defined by means of the following criteria:

• Auditing hierarchy type and version


• Basic categories only


• Audit report category

If you only want to list certain audit report categories, you mustspecify them in this field. If display is to be restricted to basiccategories, select the indicator 'Basic categories only'.

• Expand delivery types

If you select this indicator, the report expands the totals for acirculation audit category by delivery types. You can specify whichorder-related delivery types are to be included under an auditinghierarchy in the expanded sublist in the next parameter.

• Del.type(s) to be expanded

Here you can specify the delivery types to be included when expandingthe list by delivery types.

• Ignore inserts

If you select this indicator, figures arising from insertion of issuesare not included in the evaluation.

• Ignore combinations

If you select this indicator, figures arising from combination ofissues are not included in the evaluation.

• Sort by edition

This indicator determines whether or not a new form page is taken foreach edition.

• List audit report ID for edition

Select this parameter to print the audit report ID for the edition inthe page header in the list by edition.

• Sort by audit report ID

This indicator controls whether or not a new form page is printed foreach audit report ID (containing the data on all the issues that belongto the audit report ID).

• List editions for audit report ID

If you select this parameter, the list by audit report ID lists thenames of the editions that belong to the audit report ID in question inthe page header. There may be more than one edition.

Precondition
You must specify one period (either publication period orshipping/return period) on the selection screen. You can also specify apublication and edition or a circulation audit number. The hierarchytype and version are required fields, as they are needed in order tooutput the data according to a circulation audit hierarchy. Thecorresponding hierarchy must be defined in Customizing.
The draw can only be determined correctly if the 'circulation produced'is maintained fully in the issues on which the evaluation is based.

Output
The report creates a list summarized according to the input parametersand with the quantities cumulated by circulation audit categories. Thelist can be formatted as follows according to the output controlsettings specified:


• 4-column list containing the circulation audit category and type and
total and average quantity

• 5-column list also containing the delivery type

First, the report creates a list taking a new page for each edition,followed by a list divided by circulation audit numbers. The number ofissues used to calculate averages is displayed in each page header.
If the list is to be expanded by delivery types, the averages arerounded at delivery type level and otherwise, at circulation auditlevel. Totals are calculated based on these rounded values.
The certificated draw is calculated based on the 'circulationproduced', which is maintained in the issues included in theevaluation. The System does not check whether this data is maintainedcorrectly in the issues - i.e. whether the value is greater than thedelivery quantity for that date. The difference between the draw andthe quantities delivered (excluding returned copies) is listed as acalculated remainder in a category defined for this purpose.
The following guideline applies according to the circulation audithierarchy set up:
'circulation distributed' + 'circulation not distributed' + 'returns' ='draw'
