Paying Royalties

The Royalties section contains all information about outgoing royalty payments and their respective payees. View your statements, royalty runs, past and pending payments, and detailed information about your payees.

Statements

This section allows you to view and approve all existing royalty statements. You can also view and create royalty runs for statements with inconsistencies that have been corrected for.

• Statements: View all royalty statements for payees, their associated contracts, the amount of money paid, and the current approval status.

• Royalty Runs: View and create royalty runs. Typically these are used to adjust for corrections in reporting.

Create a new royalty run:

You may create a royalty run if there were errors corrected or adjustments made to previous accounting periods. If there has been a payment error in a previous accounting period, but they have not yet been corrected for, a new royalty run will not likely be helpful until they are. You must include at least one pre-existing report in order to create a royalty run. Click “Next” at the end of each section to continue.

• Settings: Edit the basic information regarding the run in this section.

  • Select the desired reporting period using the year and month drop down menus.

  • Create a name for your statement that is helpful for you. The reporting period will be automatically attached to the name.

  • Optionally add notes regarding this royalty run for yourself. Payees will not see what you enter here.

• Checklist: Confirm that this royalty run will be helpful for all parties involved in this section. Click the “Done” button on the right side if you have in fact confirmed the improvements listed in each section.
