• Many, but not all, market data products require reported access from your firm. Reported access is collected one month in arrears. As an example, December inventory is due to CME Group by January 31; therefore, as a typical example, your January invoice will charge for December's access. If adjustments are submitted by your firm for any other prior period, these will also be billed on the current invoice. 
• For products that are not billed in arrears, considered current period, adjustments to prior access could pertain to a credit adjustment or a correction in billing.
