Importing DSP/Sales Reports

Overview

When your connected DSP integrations don’t cover every service you use—or if you receive custom reports in specific file formats—you can manually import these sales reports. Revelator will then parse each file’s data, match or create tracks as needed, and display the resulting revenue lines in the Finance section for further processing, matching, and payout distribution.

Prerequisites

1. Access to Finance: You must have the appropriate user permissions to view and manage the Finance section.

2. Supported File Formats: Ensure your report is in a format Revelator can parse. For example, CSV, or TXT from recognized DSPs or distributors.

3. Catalog Management: Ideally, you have a clean catalog with accurate metadata (ISRC codes, track titles, etc.), to minimize unmatched lines upon import.
