Filing

A report goes in steps, so you always know who checked what.

Before you start

• Your sales data for the period is in (through a connection or an upload).
• Your products’ packaging is checked. Under Reporting › Reports you see how many products have no confirmed packaging yet.

Step 2 · Lock the figures

Open the period under Reporting › Reports. EuroPlaybook calculates the figures: units sold times packaging, per material. Check the calculation and click Lock the figures.

• An owner, admin or accountant locks the figures.
• Uploads that arrive later do not change locked figures.
• Period not over yet? EuroPlaybook asks for a reason.

Step 3 · Approve the report

EuroPlaybook prepares the report in the format of the producer responsibility organisation, for example a CSV file or a checklist.

1. Check the lines. Click a line to see where the figure comes from: which products, which packaging lines (own or from the group, with their source) and how many units per month.
2. The owner or an admin clicks Approve the report. The report is then fixed.
3. File the report with the producer responsibility organisation, on their website.
4. Click Mark as filed and enter the scheme’s reference and, if you like, the proof.

Forgot something?

• Not filed yet: the owner clicks Reopen. The report lapses; after locking again you make a new one.
• Already filed: the filed report is kept. After locking again you make a correction (Correct) and file it again.
