This report lists total draw figures for routes in a specified date range. Both gross draw (the number of papers issued to the route) and net draw (gross draw minus returns and adjustments) are given for each route. The routes are organized by route type and all single copy type. You should be able to balance the gross draw to the net draw by subtracting returns and adding adjustments: gross draw - returns + adjustments = net draw
In the case where you have a credit draw adjustment, the draw will show up as a negative in the Adjustment column.
The report shows draws by what was billed during a date range. For example, you may use this report as an audit of what was billed during a billing period (by specifying the appropriate date range in Start Date and End Date).
