►In special cases in which two platform operators with a reporting obligation have overlapping business activities and therefore have access to information about the same sellers and their relevant activities, the two businesses can enter into an agreement on the submission of ‘referring reports’. This means that one platform operator assumes responsibility for submitting reports on behalf of both platform operators. The platform operators are responsible for ensuring that there is a clear and valid agreement on the reporting responsibility in this situation.

The platform operator that submits the report on behalf of another platform operator is called the ‘Assuming Platform Operator’.

Platform operator reporting on behalf of another platform operator:
Information about the platform operator on whose behalf the report is being submitted must be entered in the AD_Assumed_Platform_Operator row.

Platform operator who is obliged to state that another platform operator is submitting the report:
The platform operator must enter the value TRUE in the field PO_ASSUMED_REPORTING in the main row ‘PO_Platform_Operator’. If the PO_ASSUMED_REPORTING field has been filled in correctly, information about the platform operator submitting the report is entered in the row ‘AG_Assuming_Platform_Operator’.

If you need to submit a referring report because another platform operator has reported about sellers on the platform, you must use the following row types in the reporting file:
‘Message’
‘PO_Platform_Operator’ (the platform operator with a reporting obligation in Denmark)
‘AG_Assuming_Platform_Operator’ (the platform operator reporting about the sellers)

See an example of how to fill in a referring report here: Appendix 3: 'Henvisende indberetning'
Read more in Appendix 2 about how to fill in the individual fields in each row type.

Please pay particular attention to the following when filling in the reporting file:
All DocRefIDs are made up of certain values: country code, income year, SE number and unique reference. The country code is always ‘DK’, the income year is the year being reported, the SE number is always the SE number of the platform operator with the reporting obligation and the unique reference is one that you create yourself. Make sure that it is unique for each row type. It may consist of numbers and/or letters - you choose the combination yourself.

The ‘MSG_MESSAGE_TYPE_INDIC’ field must always be filled in with the value ‘DPI403’ in connection with a referring report.◄
