Direct Sale File (DSF) – APPENDIX II and III

•The DSF multi-step process is described in detail below:

oSony transmits the DSF file to MEC via FTP (see login information and payout in Appendix III).

DSF account numbers are always ten (10) digits in length

oThe DSF is compared against the existing Roll-up Guide (see layout in

Appendix IV) and when completed generates the Kickout File.

The Kickout File identifies net new customers in the DSF that do not occur in the Roll-up Guide

oMEC sends Sony the Kickout file and Sony approves/declines net new accounts.

Accounts that are approved are added to the Roll-up Guide and indicated as “NO” in the omit/hide column on the Roll-up Guide. Sony also provides an e-mail address and appropriate contact information for each net new DSF account.

Accounts that are not approved to participate by Sony are indicated as “YES” in the omit/hide column on the Roll-up Guide

Sony also indicates whether or not a net new account is a Stand Alone, Master or Ship-to account (see example below)

•A Stand Alone account is an account with a single physical location and receives all Rewarding Recording® Dollars associated with that account number. In this case, the account number in the “Master” field and “Ship-to/Location” field is equal and only occurs once in each column of the Roll-up Guide.

•A Master account is an account with multiple physical locations that receives all Rewarding Recording® Dollars for itself and all physical locations. A Master account number may occur many times throughout the Roll-Up Guide.

•A Ship-to account is an account that “rolls up” to a Master account. A Ship-to account does not receive any Rewarding Recording® Dollars, however, any purchases associated with a Ship-to account is allocated to the Master account number in the Roll-up Guide.
