Internet Sales Summary (ISS) FAQs

ISS

How do I access my Internet Sales Summary Reports?

ISS reports are only available through My ARC. Once signed in to My ARC, select 'Internet Sales Summary' from the list of available in the 'Your Products' list in the upper left corner of your My ARC homepage.

Can access to the agency's Sales Summary reports be restricted by user?

Your agency's My ARC Primary Administrator has the authority to allow or limit access to the Agent Sales Summary by user. Access to the sales report is permitted according to the ARC Number assigned to the user.

For example:

  • If you are assigned with the Home Office Location (HOL), then you have the ability to access ALL sales reports within your entity.
  • If you are assigned a branch ARC number, you can only access the branch sales report and any STP location that report to the branch.
  • If you are assigned a STP ARC number, you may only access that sales report.

When can I access my weekly sales reports?

If you electronically authorize/submit your IAR report on Tuesday, you will be able to view that report by Friday of the same week (waiting for the paper report could take up to a week to receive).

Will I still be required to keep my paper reports?

You are required to keep two years of sales reports, but ARC will store your sales reports for you in ISS. Once activated, you will eventually have two years of ISS sales reports which eliminates the need to store paper copies of sales reports. If you choose to save your sales reports longer than the two years available in ISS, be sure to print or save those reports on your computer's hard drive.
