# Understand Publishing Administration Reports

We provide monthly reports detailing publishing administration royalties for all compositions you're eligible to receive payments for. Only works that generated royalties in the respective month are displayed.

We collect publishing royalties from various sources with different payment schedules. Therefore, each month's report can contain different pay sources and royalties appear to fluctuate more.

### Summary Reports

Publishing administration summary reports generally contain these columns:

<table><thead><tr><th width="182">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Payee ID</td><td>ID of the corresponding payment account</td></tr><tr><td>Licensor ID</td><td>ID of the licensor account the composition is associated with. Relevant if you manage catalogs across multiple licensor accounts or you receive a share of royalties from a different licensor.</td></tr><tr><td>Composition ID</td><td>Auto-generated ID for the associated composition</td></tr><tr><td>Title</td><td>The title of the associated composition</td></tr><tr><td>Writers</td><td>Writers and their respective shares</td></tr><tr><td>ISWC</td><td>The International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) as given in the composition metadata</td></tr><tr><td>Royalties (EUR)</td><td>Total Royalties as defined in your contract</td></tr><tr><td>Payout Rate</td><td>The payable rate of Royalties as defined in your contract. If a primary rightsholder <a href="/pages/OTFVYmSTfC2b1WMzEjwk">shares revenues with you</a>, their Payout Rate will be used.</td></tr><tr><td>Share</td><td>Your share of payable Royalties (Royalties * Payout Rate). If you are the sole rightsholder, your share is 1. If there are multiple rightsholders, your share indicates which % of payable royalties you receive.</td></tr><tr><td>Payout (EUR)</td><td>Actual amount payable to you</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Details Reports

Publishing administration details reports provide additional information about the nature of your royalties. Royalties are spread out by period they were earned in, the country they were earned in, and the pay source. Therefore, there will likely be multiple rows for each composition.&#x20;

Details reports contain these *additional* columns:

<table><thead><tr><th width="182">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>fromMonth</td><td>From which month royalties were generated (MM/YYYY)</td></tr><tr><td>toMonth</td><td>To which month royalties were generated (MM/YYYY)</td></tr><tr><td>Source Name</td><td>Name of the pay source</td></tr><tr><td>Country</td><td>ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code</td></tr></tbody></table>
