# AAM Price Level

The Alliance for Audited Media supports reporting paid circulation in different categories, based on discount. Some example categories might be:

* Paid circulation 50% or more of the basic price
* Paid circulation at 25% - 49% of the basic price
* Other paid circulation

Circulation uses the price levels defined here to assign subscriber rates or single copy routes to one of the categories above. Subscriber rates can be assigned price levels during Rate Code setup, and single copy outlets can be assigned price levels in Single Copy Route setup (or the Route Setup Utility). For rates or routes that do not have price levels assigned, Business Rules will be used to determine the price level.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *Price levels are optional. Also note that unpaid draw (unpaid comp, service, samples, unpaid single copy, etc.) will always be reported in the Unpaid portion of the AAM reports, and so does not need a price level.*
{% endhint %}

Once defined, the AAM price levels must be given report headings. That is done in AAM Report Headings (documented next). To define price levels:

* Select AAM Price Level from the AAM menu to display the AAM Price Level Setup screen.

* Click OK to save the price level in the database or Add Another to save the existing record and add another price level.
