Normally, it's faster and easier to report box-office returns using an aggregating service such as Maccs. However, some distributors may require you to report this data to them directly.

Steps

1. Go to Head Office > Maintenance > Distributors.
2. Open the form for the relevant distributor.
3. Go to the Box Office Reporting tab.
4. Select Distributor (EBOR) under Box Office Report Destination.
5. Select a Report Date Range.

   Tip: If you'd like to send returns data from a specific date instead, use Report Specific Date and enter 0 for Include Days Prior.

6. (Optional) Review and configure the rest of the parameters to suit your needs.
7. Save.
8. Contact Vista Support to configure the following details:
   • File transfer protocols for the relevant distributors.
   • The scheduled task that reports box-office returns has the correct parameters, and runs as frequently as required.

Note: You may need to contact the distributors to get their file transfer protocol details.
