Liam Bunce Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi all I have been asked by Dacs to supply a sales report from Alamy, how do i do this? Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Search these forums for "DACS." There are lots of how-to and other threads. It's fairly easy to file your own claim, which reminds me that I haven't done it yet this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 On My Alamy Dashboard, click on "Build a downloadable sales report". Set date range From: before the earliest sale you have, To: the end of 2015, Date of Invoice, hit "Go" button. You may wish to import the CSV file into a spreadsheet to remove any that can't be claimed for (e.g. Newspaper sales and sales in wrong territories - see DACs rules).

John Mitchell Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Before I download the sales report, I check the following boxes: Date of Invoice, Alamy Ref, Agency Ref, Pseudonym, Licence Type, Licence Detail, and Region. I then go through the spreadsheet and delete all non-UK (Region) licences, leaving UK book and magazine sales only. Et voilà! P.S. I also select "Date of Invoice" before downloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The FAQ page on the DACS website is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Set date range From: before the earliest sale you have, To: the end of 2015, Date of Invoice, hit "Go" button. I just do the previous year. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do the previous year. Alan Depends whether it's your first claim or not. If it's your first claim, I'd set set the earliest date. If you've already claimed for sales up to then of 2014, and supplied evidence to DACs as required, then I agree you should be able to get away with just reporting just 2015 as DACs will roll the previous years' info forward.

I always send DACS spreadsheets from previous years along with the "new" one for the previous year. This probably isn't necessary, but they haven't complained yet.
