5.2 Definition of the Sales/Usage Report where release data is not available

When sales and/or usage data is to be reported using the MRBV of the Audio-visual Profile of the DSR standard, for audio-visual resources for which no data about the audio-visual release they are contained in has been previously made available to the licensee, the following Records shall be communicated in this order:

1. One HEAD Record.

2. One or more summary Records of type SY01.03, SY02.04, SY04.03/SY05.04 or SY06.03.

There shall be one or more summary Records for each licensor to whom the Sales/Usage Report is sent, to provide data on sales and/or usage relevant to that licensor according to the calculations made by the licensee.

Which of these summary Records is used is determined by the commercial model the licensee uses, which type of use and the territory any audio-visual resource contained in the Sales/Usage Report has been traded in. The summary Records are described in detail in Part 8 of the DSR standard. It is permissible to communicate different types of summary Records in a single Sales/Usage Report.

It is recommended that the summary Records are provided in a logical order to aid human readability. This would typically mean that summary Records with the same Record identifier are not mixed up even if the Record identifiers may not appear in their numerical order. For example a sequence of SY02.04, SY02.04, SY06.03, SY06.03 and SY06.03 meets this recommendation, whereas SY06.03, SY02.04 and SY06.03 does not.

3. One or more Blocks that contain the following Records:

(a) One or more Records of type AS03.03 or AS04:

The AS03.02 Record provides data describing an audio-visual resource. Only an audio-visual resource that has been sold or used shall be included in the AS03.03 Record in this section of the Block.

The AS04 Record provides data describing a website resource. Only a resource that has been sold or used shall be included in the AS04 Record in this section of the Block.

(b) None, one or many cue records of type CU01.02 or of type CU02.01.

Each CU01.02 Record provides data describing the musical work(s) embodied in the resource described in the relevant AS03.02 or AS04 Record.

Each CU02.01 Record provides data describing the graphical and/or literary work(s) embodied in the relevant resource described in the AS03.02 or AS04 Record.

(c) One or more Records of type SU01.03, SU02.03, SU03.03, SU04.03 or SU06.01:

These Records provide data describing sales and/or usage of the relevant resources contained in the Block. Which sales and/or usage Record is to be used for a particular Sales/Usage Report is determined by which commercial model and use type the licensee is using. Each SU Record shall point to the AS Record to which the sales and/or usage data relates.

4. One FOOT Record.

The left diagram of Figure 1 below shows the structure of a Block where no musical work nor any graphic or literary work data is provided in relation to the two resources in the AS03.03 and AS04 Records. The right-hand diagram shows the structure of the Block where musical work(s) data (the CU01.02 Record), and graphic or literary work(s) data (the CU02.01 Record), is provided. In the diagram, this approach communicates that a musical work(s) and a graphical and/or literary work(s) is embodied in the audio-visual resource described in the AS03.03 Record, and, a musical work(s) is embodied in the website resource described in the AS04 Record. Cue Records are interspersed in this way to show that the works they describe are embodied in the resource described in the immediately preceeding resource Record.
