Note: The data in this report is indicative only. It is intended to help you understand how your items are performing on Elements, but may not be 100% accurate.
Was this always under the report or was just added now to solve the mystery of why we may be getting less triple reward than what the report says? xD
May not be accurate ? How ? Why ?
How can an earning report be indicative only ?
So you check the report it says you earn 300$ but as it is not 100% accurate you check it later and it may be less or you may suddenly get less when month ends ? Or you earn 300$ on X, Y and Z items, report says X is 100$, Y is 70$ and Z is 130$ but in reality X is 111$, Y is 67$ and Z is 122$? I canât really understand to what extent does the indication go and what is accurate if this report is indicative only ? Can someone explain ?
Hi @starfaII

No, that timing was purely coincidental.
We have put this note in place as this data may not account for small things like fractional rounding, for example attributing earnings from subscribers who have downloaded a large number of items and then splitting that subscriber share to each different item and then applying item point rounding (as per https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000424883-How-Revenue-Share-Works-For-Authors).
We try and make this data available as soon as possible, and as such there might be some very small variances in the rounding (weâre talking fractions of cents which add up in large portfolios etc.) between the time the data is shown and what is calculated for earnings after tax.
Weâre working on delivering a downloadable PDF that will be the âsource of truthâ for earnings information to make things clearer, this will also articulate incentive or bonus earnings such as Triple Rewards in a separate statement.
Thank you, and I hope this clears things up.

Thanks for the clarification @Jimmy_J. As the data is always âexactâ in terms of getting the same amount from the report as our payout(to the dime) it didnât really make sense that report was indicative only and wanted to clarify to which degree that indication goes. I understand that yearly subscriptions as well as authors that download a lot of stuff take time to process but i thought small delays in the report were the only thing that gets affected not the report in general being not precise at times which is how âindicative onlyâ sounded to me.
Thank you.

Thanks, Igor
When we start looking at authors with thousands and thousands of items, that is where those small rounding differences can start to add up and become a little bit more apparent. But in any case thank you for checking and asking the question.
