Description

This report determines transactions affecting live subscriptions for subscription orders in two periods. The live subscriptions at the start and end of each period and the new subscriptions and terminations within the periods are totaled using purchase quantities and the difference is displayed as an absolute figure and as a percentage. You can determine the contents of the list, summarization levels and drilldown levels using selection criteria and parameters.

Selection screen

The selection screen is split into two sections:

• Data selection: In this section, you can specify criteria to restrict the order data selected for evaluation.

• Output control: This section allows you to specify summarization levels and drilldown criteria for the lists to be displayed.

Data selection options:

• Analysis periods 1 and 2
  This defines the first and last day in the periods for comparison.

• Subscription sales document type
  You can restrict processing to certain subscription types; if you do not make any entries in this field, the report evaluates all existing subscription sales document types. Offers are excluded from data selection (although they belong to the sales document type grouping for subscriptions).

• Sales organization/distribution channel/product division
  You can specify criteria for the sales organization, distribution channel and product division; if you do not make any entries here, the report evaluates all subscriptions independently of these factors.

• Sales office responsible
  You can specify the sales office for the order in this field; if you do not make any entries here, all subscriptions are evaluated irrespective of the sales office.

• Carrier route
  Here, you can restrict the subscriptions evaluated to one carrier route; if you do not make any entries, the report evaluates all subscriptions irrespective of the carrier route.

• Geographical hierarchy variant
  To select data by a geographical unit (see below) you must specify a geographical hierarchy variant that contains the desired geographical unit. (For more information on geographical hierarchy variants, please refer to the F1 help on this field.)

• Geographical unit
  Here, you can restrict the subscriptions evaluated to one geographical unit; if you do not make any entries in this field, the report evaluates all subscriptions irrespective of the geographical unit.

• Publication
  Subscriptions to the publications specified here are included in the evaluation; if you do not make any entries in this field, the report evaluates subscriptions to all publications.

• Edition
  Subscriptions to the editions specified here are included in the evaluation; if you do not make any entries in this field, the report evaluates subscriptions to all editions.

• Edition report grouping 1 and edition report grouping 2
  These fields allow you to restrict the subscriptions evaluated to editions that belong to certain report groupings; if you do not make any entries here, no restrictions are made with regard to these criteria.

• Service type
  This field allows you to restrict the subscriptions evaluated to certain service types.

• Sales source
  This field allows you to restrict the subscriptions evaluated to certain sales sources.

• Sales promotion
  This field allows you to restrict the subscriptions evaluated to sales promotions.

• Item types to be included
  This field allows you to determine which item types are to be included in the evaluation. You can select any of the basic item types:

• Standard item

• Trial item

• Free item
  You can choose single item types or all three.

• Include reversed orders / include if delivered / ignore
  These options enable you to control how reversed orders (which may have been delivered up to their reversal) are to be handled.

• Include backdated orders
  If you select this parameter, the report includes backdated subscription orders from the start date of validity (more precisely, before the regular start of delivery).

• Include orders where delivery not viable
  If you select this parameter, the report includes subscription orders for which delivery was not viable in the analysis period.

Output control options

• Summarization levels
  The report makes a page break in the lists for the summarization level you select. The following are possible:

• Publication

• Edition

• Edition report group 1

• Edition report group 2
  This means for example, if you select the summarization level 'Publication', the page header specifies the publication and drilldown is performed according to drilldown criteria (see below) with summation according to all the editions of the publication. The same applies to the other possible summarization levels. You can also select more than one summarization level.

• Drilldown levels
  Here, you can determine whether or not the list is to contain individual lines for:

• Purchase reasons

• Delivery end reasons
  You can also restrict the reasons that are to appear in the list in both these cases. Orders that do not come under this category are totaled and listed in a separate line.

• Include weighted partial subscriptions
  Select this indicator if you want partial subscriptions (for example, Saturday subscribers) to be counted according to the partial subscription weighting from the mix offers for the edition or whether the purchase quantities for partial subscriptions are to be counted in full.

Preconditions

The most important precondition for an effective evaluation is that master data and transaction data should be maintained in full.

For example, it is particularly important that a partial subscription weighting be specified in the edition mix offers for weighted valuation of partial subscriptions. Missing entries are displayed in an error list at the end of the program.

Output

The report creates a list beginning a new page for each summarization level selected. This creates a maximum of 4 sublists.

Each sublist contains the following data:

• Live subscriptions at the start of the periods

• Total number of new subscriptions in periods

• If you selected the drilldown level 'Purchase reason':
  Number of new subscriptions per purchase reason and the number of all new subscriptions that do not correspond to the selected purchase reasons ('Other reasons').

• Total number of terminations in periods

• If you selected the drilldown level 'Delivery end reason':
  Number of terminations for each delivery end reason and the number of all terminations that do not correspond to the selected delivery end reasons ('Other reasons').

• Live subscriptions at the end of the periods

Finally, the report displays an error list if error situations were identified during the program run.

Please note the following:

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

• Limited item types such as suspensions, redirections, gift and transfer shipments are not included in the statistics.

• If you only want orders for which delivery is viable to be included in the statistics, they must be viable throughout, either within the analysis period or the validity period for the order (depending on the time limits).

• When weighting partial subscriptions for evaluation, deviations may be indicated in the live subscriptions. In this case, the live subscriptions at the start of the period + new subscriptions - terminations appears to be different from the number of live subscriptions at the end of the period. The difference depends on the number of reasons and the weighting of the partial subscription and can be traced back to the rounding performed when listing the figures.
  For example: If three new subscriptions are recorded with different reasons and a weighting of 1/6, a new subscription of 0 is displayed three times. However, the number of live subscriptions at the end of the period is 3/6 and this is rounded up to 1 for the list.
