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 home page.

Your agency's My ARC Primary Administrator will have the authority to allow or limit access to the Agent Sales Summary by user. Access to the sales report will be 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.

The Internet Sales Summary product will enable you view and begin your reconciliation process much earlier than waiting for the mailed paper sales reports. If you electronically authorize/submit your IAR report on Tuesdays, 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).

The Agent Reporting Agreement (ARA) still requires you to keep two years of sales reports. But upon activation to the Internet Sales Summary product, ARC will begin accumulating your sales reports for you on-line. Eventually, two years worth of sales reports of all of your locations will be available which will eliminate the need to store the paper copy of your 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.
