6.6.4 Linking Blocks to summary Records

All sales and/or usage Blocks contain Records that report sales and/or usage although in some profiles it may be valid to send Blocks without any such Records. It is essential for a licensor to be able determine to which summary Record such sales and/or usage Records contribute. To enable this, all summary Records contain a SummaryRecordId Cell that the sales and/or usage Records can point to. Figure 4 shows an excerpt from a Sales/Usage Report in which two different types of exploitation (see Clause 6.2) are being reported with respect to two different releases.
