Why does it appear that transaction download reports and summary reports have slight discrepancies?
While Summary Reports are based on transaction dates, please note that Transaction Download reports are based on posting dates to ensure that transaction reports downloaded are final. Transactions are typically posted 1 day after the transaction date, but advertisers have the ability to post corrections with the same transaction date on a different posting date. Also, note that when aggregating programs, Summary Reports will only report on four metrics: Impressions, Clicks, Earnings and EPC. As advertisers may pay out on different metrics, these are the only common metrics publishers can use to compare activity and earnings across programs.
