Reporting from subscription services

This service is only for customers with subscription model. It will replace the reporting documented at https://bokbasen.jira.com/wiki/spaces/api/pages/2498527278.

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.
