How do my transactions in CS get reported in the QWDS 2019 Summary Report
The submission process for customers in QLD currently requires the submission of a summary of the waste received as a registered Landfill, including any waste to a registered RRA at the site. This summary is taken from all transactional information recorded during the submission month.
The naus Regulatory Management application provides a summarised view of all transaction recorded in Mandalay CS where the Date Out of the transaction falls within the submission period. The following article explains how each section of the generated summary is derived from the regulatory data applied to a transaction.

Ticket Corrections
If a transaction is canceled or replaced from a submission period or a new transaction back dated into a submission period and the period has already been submitted to DES. After this the summary report for that period will be updated to reflect the changes. This does not occur as soon as the transaction is recorded but will be changed once the next submission has been processed. This will mean the previous summary return will need to be resubmitted.
Reported Tonnes
The tonnes reported in this report will either be the total net weight for the transactions e.g Gross minus Tare or if this does not exist then the deemed weight as defined in the weight conversion table (Appendix E of the DES Detailed Data File Specification) will be reported.
