How to use catalog reports

Catalog reports are a valuable tool to help ensure that things are going smoothly with your books, before and after they are published on Apple Books. They provide a quick and easy way to check the status of your books, verify series information you provided, see if assets are missing for pre-orders, and get a list of any tickets that need to be addressed. Reports can be requested once per day and are available for 30 days. The file you download is a tab-delimited .txt file.

Types of catalog reports

There are four types of catalog reports:

• Book includes the Apple ID, ISBN, Vendor ID, metadata, release date, and store status for all books that have been delivered into your account.
• Book Pre-Order includes details of pre-order books, such as the release date and the assets required in order for the complete book to release.
• Book Pricing includes countries, clearances, and pricing information for all books delivered into the account.
• Ticket includes details of tickets that have been issued on your books such as the ticket status and reason.
