Chapter 10. Publications

More on Group Codes

The characters entered in  will create a heading on Page 1 of Daily Run Sheet so 1 or 2 characters should be enough. It will also group all of the various publications with the same code and count them to create one figure on the run sheet. It will also group the publications on your customer list in the Reports function. It will also create the layout of your WAN return. You will see that most of the main weekly publications have been grouped already. An example of this is the Mon-Fri West and Saturday West publications grouped under WA. Another example is the Kalgoorlie Miner issued on Saturday grouped under KM. You will also notice that all of The Australian publications are grouped as A and The Sunday Times is ST. Generally though, you decide if there is a need for a publication to appear on the Daily Run Sheet by creating a group code for that publication. Please keep in mind that the run sheet is limited to a maximum 16 columns. Your magazines that do not have a group code will appear on Page 2 of the Daily Run Sheet. It is up to you if you decide to use Page 2 or not. All publications that are entered in the Daily Run Sheet will appear on the Sub Agents delivery docket.

Note!! When grouping the Mon-Fri West, Saturday West and West promotions under WA you will notice there is a space or if grouping them yourself you should put a space before entering the characters WA. The space will list the West publication in the first column on your daily Run Sheet. If you don’t put the space then that particular publication will list as a separate publication on the run sheet and will be listed in alphabetical order (last) on the run sheet.
