Description

In the monthly reports screen in Stison, we have the ability to label your titles as Front or Backlist, in the available columns:

The determination of Front / Backlist is highly specific to publishers, and so we have built in the ability to specify where this cut off is when you generate royalty reports.

By selecting the downwards arrows ('show more filters') next to the retailer field, you can access the new 'Year End' field:

Year End allows you to create a nominal cut-off point for your Frontlist / Backlist. It will automatically populate with the date entered in the 'From' field, but you can edit this.

In the screenshot above, it is essentially saying that the cut off point for when a product is determined to be Frontlist is 22/02/2024. Ie, anything publishing before then is considered backlist. This only affects the data shown in the reporting in this screen if you use Front/Backlist as an available column. This will label titles as Front or Backlist, according to where they fall relative to this 'Year End' date.

Here's an example of how this information could be displayed in your reports:
