Revenue Receipts Statement

This transaction set communicates box office revenue and receipts data from entertainment venues to authorized recipients. Typically sent by movie theaters, performing arts venues, or cinema circuits, the 170 is transmitted to studios, distributors, or theater management companies who need to reconcile revenue reports or verify box office performance. The statement is usually sent in response to contractual reporting requirements or periodic settlement requests. The transaction uses the N1 (Name) segment to identify the reporting theater or venue, the THE (Screen Theater Identification) segment to specify which individual screens or locations are included in the report, and the BOX (Box Office Detail) segment to provide the actual revenue figures and performance metrics for specified time periods.

For example, Cinemark USA might prepare an X12 170 Revenue Receipts Statement detailing weekend box office results from its downtown Denver location and transmit it to Universal Pictures. The statement would identify Cinemark as the sender and Universal as the recipient through the N1 segments, use THE segments to specify individual auditoriums, and populate BOX segments with ticket counts and dollar amounts for each showing. Date/time references in the DTM segment would mark the reporting period (Friday through Sunday), while REF segments would tie the submission to specific contractual agreements or payment cycles between the two companies.
