Sales Data Exchange System Specification and Implementation Guide Sections 1–6: General Information
Section 1.5 Industry Sales Record
The Industry Sales Record is a daily process that uses sales data transactions from the TCN 4.05, ARC
CAT, and BSP HOT data files and combines these formats into a single data feed. The electronic ticket
standards will also be reviewed to ensure that this new product is in alignment and can easily
accommodate this sales data source in the future. This compilation of the data is completed on a field-byfield
basis that could result in one field being populated from the TCN, and one from ARC/BSP. An
indicator in the Record 1 Data Foundation (FNDT) will list the data sources considered during the
compilation of the ISR. When there is data for the same field from multiple data sources, the hierarchy or
priority of the data field will be used to populate the field. This hierarchy can be found in Section 8.6. The
ARC (US agency sales) and BSP (non-US agency sales) files should be mutually exclusive.
Note that all data elements and records relating only to ISR (that is, not present in TCN-only ISR or in the
TCN standalone product) are shaded gray throughout the guide. These records and elements are shown
in the record layouts in Section 7 and element details listed in the Glossary (Section 10).
All new customers will join the Sales Data Exchange as ISR receivers. Further details on the ISR process
can be found in Section 5.4.
