In its more advance format, it provides several tools to help you manage your database, discover potentially lost revenues, and create customized lists based on your own specifications.
To print a Subscriber Listing, on the Main Menu Select Reports, and Choose Subscriber Listing.

 

Subscriber Listing tabs - There are three tabs on the Subscriber Listing dialog.

Subscribers w/CSID but NO Recurring Revenue
Although this Subscriber Listing is not generally thought of as a Recurring Revenue and Sales Analysis tool, there is a particularly critical feature provided in this report that will be find extremely useful.
This critical feature is activated with the Subscribers w/CSID but NO Recurring Revenue question.
In the course of the data entry process: interruptions, task shift, and personnel changes all lead to errors.
Forgetting to enter the Recurring Revenue information for a new Subscriber is one of the most costly mistakes that can be made.
This is because that mistake will continue to cost money month after month - actually forever - until this error of omission is discovered.
Errors of omission are always the hardest to find.
The Subscriber Listing Report will locate and list all Monitored Subscribers who have No Recurring Revenue Defined - but almost certainly should have - as follows:

HelpFilesSubscriberListingNoRecurring

Subscriber Listing - No Recurring Option

 

Order By - Using the Drop-Down Selection List provided, Choose Subscriber Name.
Subscribers w/CSID but NO Recurring Revenue - Check the Subscribers w/CSID but NO Recurring Revenue box.
Short List? - Check the Short List? box.
Print - Click the Print button to Preview or Print (to a File or a Printer) this report.
The report will list every Account that must be reviewed, and perhaps with updated with the appropriate Recurring Revenue rules.
If so identified, it is suggested that you create an Auto Billing record, with a zero (0.00) payment rate, for those Subscribers who are correctly receiving these services at no charge.
By doing so, they will no longer appear on this list in the future.
