Digital Access Draw

If you have combos with rate codes that have Digital Restate Type set to “One Digital” and Digital Draw Type set to “None” or “Unpaid”, AAM draw figures will not be created during End Publ Run (in the former case) or will be created with an AAM column of “Unpaid” (in the latter case). In order to create or move the AAM draw to have the correct AAM column, you must run this option, Digital Access Draw. As with Restate AAM History, Digital Access Draw creates draw adjustments for digital draw, which will create AAM history when the batch of adjustments is accepted. See Restate AAM History for more information on restating AAM history.

A Business Rule in the AAM section determines the draw adjustment code to use for adjustments created by Digital Access Draw. Another Business Rule determines whether Digital Access Draw counts accesses by a subscriber for the same product and date on multiple platforms as multiple copies, rather than one copy.

Run Digital Access Draw

• Select Digital Access Draw from the AAM menu in the Reporting module. The Digital Access Draw screen displays.

  
• Click Add and specify the product, start/end date, and entry date for the process.

• Click OK and Continue to start the process.

• Subscriber digital access records will be reviewed for the product and start/end date range entered. On days when a subscriber has digital access, draws will be recorded for the digital edition that has the highest priority in the Authentication Control Publication records.

• Draw adjustments will be created for the digital draws, in a suspended draw adjustment batch with a batch type of “Digital Access Draw”. This batch must be accepted in Route Adjust.

Note: If digital access records exist with a blank authentication control ID within the date range specified, an error will display and you will not be able to run Digital Access Draw. If this happens, contact Naviga Support to correct the digital access records.
