Sales and Usage Reporting
The sales and usage reporting standard provide a suite of messages that give a uniform mechanism to enable Licensees (typically Digital Service Providers) to report to Licensors (typically Music Rights Societies and/or Record Companies) sales and usage of Products based on Releases. The standard is available in XML format and flat file format.
In addition the standards can be used to provide information regarding the revenue generated from the distribution of such Products, to the relevant Licensors of the Releases, the Sound Recordings and/or Music Audio-Visual Recordings (and other Resources) contained in the Releases and the Musical Works embodied in the Sound Recordings and/or Music Audio-Visual Recordings.
Finally, the DDEX has also defined how to physically exchange such reports using FTP.
