   Registration Summary:

   Total Registrations

   Order Summary:

   New Orders
   The sum of all orders placed during the billing period. You can use this to book your “sales” for the billing period.

   Canceled Regs from prev period (canceled or transfer)
   This is the sum of all orders placed in a previous billing period that were canceled during the current billing period. For example, if a $100 order was placed in Jan of 09 and canceled in the current billing period (May of 09), then there would be ($100) OR -$100 listed here. This is to account for the “loss” of revenue that occurred during the current billing period.

   Another example would be the case of a Transfer whereby the original order would be Canceled and a New Order would be placed in the current period. For example, a Player registered in Jan of 09 to Fall 2009 Soccer, U10 Boys for $100 is transferred in the current billing period (May of 09) to Fall 2009 Soccer, U12 Boys for $150. The result would be a ($100) or 0$100 listed in Canceled Regs from prev period (canceled or transfer) AND $150 listed in the New Orders.

   Total Adjusted Order Amt
   This is the sum of the New Orders and the Canceled Regs from prev period (canceled or transfer).
