The “Distribution Fee Entry” page allows for the entry of fees that will be applied against the net revenue found in distributor sales files in order to reflect additional fees charged to the label that are not reported in the detail of a sales file.

Two methods are provided for applying a distribution fee: a percentage can be applied to all formats in the file, or individual percentages can be applied to each format in the file.

To apply the same distribution fee percentage to all formats, select "All Formats" under "Apply distribution fee to:"

Once selected, a distribution fee percentage can be entered in the space provided for all formats.

To apply different distribution fees to each format appearing in the file, select "By Format." This will expand the entries available for applying a distribution fee to all formats found in the file.

Individual distribution fees can then be applied to every recognized format in the sales file.

To save changes, click "Update Distribution Fee."
