Description
This report determines the number of subscription orders on two keydates. The orders on hand are compared as totals of purchase quantitiesand the difference between the two figures is displayed as an absolutefigure and as a percentage. You can determine the content,summarization levels and drilldown levels using selection criteria andparameters.

Selection screen
The selection screen is divided into 2 areas:

• Data selection: In this area, you can make entries to restrict the
order data to be evaluated.

• Output control: Here, you make specifications on the summarization
levels and drilldown criteria for the lists to be created.

Data selection options:


• Key date 1 and key date 2

This determines the key date to be evaluated.

• Subscription sales document type

You can delimit different subscription types; if you do not make anentry, the report evaluates all existing subscription sales documenttypes. Offers (although they belong to subscriptions in the salesdocument type grouping) are excluded from data selection.

• Sales org./dist.channel/division

You can specify data on the sales organization, distribution channeland product division; if you do not make any entries here, the reportincludes all subscriptions irrespective of these factors.

• Sales office

You specify the sales office responsible for the order in this field;if you do not make an entry, the report processes all subscriptionsirrespective of the sales office.

• Carrier route

This enables you to restrict the evaluation of subscriptions to onecarrier route; if you do not make an entry, the report processes allsubscriptions regardless of the carrier route.

• Geographical hierarchy variant

If you want to make a selection by a geographical unit (see below), youmust specify a geographical hierarchy variant that contains the desiredgeographical unit. (For further information on the geographicalhierarchy variant, please see the field documentation.)

• Geographical unit

This field allows you to restrict evaluation of the subscriptions toone geographical unit in the System; if you do not make any entries,the report evaluates all subscriptions irrespective of the geographicalunit.

• Normal delivery country

Here, you can restrict the evaluation according to the country normallysupplied (in the case of trips abroad, this is the country in the'normal order item'); if you do not make any entries, the reportprocesses all subscriptions regardless of the country.

• Edition

The report evaluates subscriptions to the editions specified here; ifyou do not make any entries, subscriptions to all editions areevaluated.

• Edition report grouping 1 and edition report grouping 2

Here, you can restrict the evaluation to subscriptions to editions thatbelong to certain report groupings; if you do not make any entries,processing is not restricted according to these criteria.

• Service type

Here, you can restrict the evaluation to subscriptions with certainservice types.

• Sales source

Here, you can restrict the evaluation to subscriptions with certainsales sources.

• Sales promotion

This enables you to restrict evaluation to subscriptions with certainsales promotions.

• Country for payment methods and payment method

• Include reversed orders/include if delivered/ignore

These parameters allow you to control the way in which reversed orders(for which delivery may have been performed right up to reversal) areto be dealt with.

• Include backdated orders

If you select this parameter, the report includes backdatedsubscription orders from the validity date (or more precisely, evenbefore the regular start of delivery).

• Include orders where delivery not viable

If you select this parameter, subscription orders for which deliverywas not viable at the time of analysis are included in the statistics.

• Order number (for test)

For test purposes, you can restrict selection to individual orders. Ifyou select individual orders or only a small number of orders, thestatistics report can also be executed in dialog processing.

Output control options


• Summarization levels

By selecting the parameters
Publication
Edition
Edition report group 1
Edition report group 2
you can have the report create lists in which the selectedsummarization level is used as a criterion for creating a page break.This means, for example, that the summarization level 'Publication'provides you with a list with the publication specified in the pageheader and expansion according to expansion criteria (see below),summarized by all editions of the publication. The same applies to theother possible summarization levels. You can select severalsummarization levels.

• Expansion levels (key columns)

This enables you to control the characteristics according to which thelist is expanded. You can choose to have the list expanded on one pageaccording to the columns
Sales source
Sales promotion
Payment method.
However, the list always begins with a column for the sales office.

• Assign redirection to edition from previous item

Here, you decide which edition is assigned a redirection if an editionother than the previous item is delivered for the redirection. If theredirection item is to be assigned to the 'edition normally delivered'from the previous item, you must select this parameter. If theredirection is to be assigned to the 'edition actually delivered to theredirection address', leave the parameter blank.

• Include weighted partial subscriptions

Here, you control whether or not the report includes partialsubscriptions (e.g. Saturday subscribers) according to the partialsubscription weighting from the mix offers for the edition or whetherthe purchase quantities for partial subscriptions are to be counted infull.

Precondition
The most important prerequisite to successful evaluation is that themaster and transaction data should be maintained fully.
For example, it is particularly important that a partial subscriptionweighting be recorded for weighted valuation of partial subscriptionsin the mix offers of the editions. Missing entries are listed in anerror list at the end of the program.

Output
The report displays a list for each summarization level selected, witha page break for each summarization level. This makes for a maximum of4 sublists containing the following columns:

Characteristic/key columns


• Sales office

The sales office from the order items.

• Sales source

The sales source from the promotional data for the orders (according tothe original item) is listed according to the entry specified for theexpansion criteria.

• Sales promotion

The sales promotion from the promotional data on the orders (accordingto the original item), listed according to the expansion criteriaspecified.

• Country/payment method

Payment method and accompanying country key (from the company code forthe sales organization) according to the evaluated orders, listedaccording to the expansion criteria specified.

Key figure columns
The key figure columns list the order quantities (purchase quantities)for each item type. The columns are the following:


• Standard (standard items)

Total
The total of all standard items irrespective of whether the item wassuspended on the key date or substituted by a limited change such asredirection.
Net
The total quantity of standard items minus the suspended quantities,those for which there is a partial suspension or the quantities coveredby a subtractive change. The net total is calculated as follows:
Total standard items minus
- Suspensions
- Partial suspensions
- Redirections
- Subtractive gift item
- Subtractive trial item

• Trial

Total - trial items the same as standard items (see above)
Net - trial items the same as standard items (see above)

• Free

Total - free items the same as standard items (see above)
Net - trial items the same as standard items (see above)

• Redirection

Redirections, transfers and gift shipments are listed in these columns.
Additive
Total of all additional copy redirections valid at the time
Subtractive
Total of all redirections valid at the time, i.e. redirections thattemporarily stop delivery of the basic preceding item.

• Suspensions

Total of all quantities for which there is a suspension or a partialsuspension

• Total

The overall total is the total of all quantities in the orders on handon the key date, i.e. the total of all net items as well as additionalcopy redirections and redirections (including transfers and giftitems).
At the end, the report creates an error list, if errors were identifiedduring processing.

Please note


• Gift and transfer items are included in the column for redirections.


• It is not possible to select by carrier routes and geographical units
at the same time.

• If you select a carrier route or geographical unit, limited item types
such as suspensions, redirections, gift and transfer shipments areassigned to the carrier route or geographical unit for the basic item.

• Free items do not have a payment method so the free items and the
