Open this file to see which marketplace and accounting exports map to packaging data. One row is the column layout of a sales or catalogue export that Instica reads.
The rows were read from 7 source documents between September 29, 2026 and November 3, 2026.
5 of the 9 rows are pending. A pending row stays in the file with an empty value and a stated reason, so you can see which figures are not yet published and filter them out before you compute.
The value column lists the columns of each export that Instica maps to packaging data and which ones are required. The vendor documentation quoted in each row is the source.
| Status | Rows | Meaning |

pending | 5 | no value yet; see pending_reason |
proposed | 0 | a bill or draft, not law |
published | 0 | recorded from the publisher, no review status |
