Reporting from subscription services

This service is only for customers with subscription model. It will replace the reporting documented at Bokbasen distributes binaries to the end user.

Please note the following:

  • Single point of reporting. Bokbasen will distribute reports to all relevant product owners (publisher) to be used for invoicing the subscription service and calculation of royalty to authors, etc.

  • The report should only include reads above the threshold (i.e 10%), as agreed upon with the publisher.

  • All data within a reporting period must be delivered simultaneously.

  •  If a product changes product owner within a reporting period, the product must be reported twice (one time on each owner) 

  • Frequency as agreed upon with the publisher, but should not include partial months, making a month the shortest reporting period possible.
