Approving Statements

Overview

Approving a statement is a crucial step in finalizing revenue calculations and distributing royalties. Once a statement is approved, it is locked and cannot be modified unless unapproved.

Step-by-Step Guide to Approving Statements:

1

Review the Statement

  • Carefully inspect the generated statement for accuracy.

  • Verify revenue amounts, payees, and any associated data.

2

Approve the Statement

  • Click on the "Approve" button in the statement management dashboard.

  • Confirm the approval by selecting "Yes" in the confirmation prompt.

  • The statement will now be marked as "Approved" and locked from further changes.

3

Batch Approving many-Statements at once

  • Select multiple statements using checkboxes or a multi-select tool.

  • Click the "Approve Selected" button.

  • Confirm approval for all selected statements.


Step-by-Step Guide to Unapproving a Statement

In some cases, you may need to unapprove a statement to correct errors or include omitted revenue. Unapproving reverts the statement to a draft or editable state.

1

Access the Approved Statement

  • Navigate to the "Approved Statements" section.

  • Locate the statement you need to unapprove.

2

Unapprove the Statement

  • Click the "Unapprove" button.

  • Confirm the action by selecting "Yes" when prompted.

  • The statement will revert to an "Unapproved" or "Draft" status.

3

Edit the Statement

You may need to rep process the royalty run in order to make any necessary corrections, such as adding missed revenue or fixing calculation errors.

4

Re-Approve the Statement

After making changes and reviewing the statement, follow the standard approval process to lock the statement again.


Why Unapproving Might Be Necessary:

  • Missed Revenue: Realizing that some income sources were omitted.

  • Calculation Errors: Detecting discrepancies in royalty splits or revenue allocations.

  • Data Corrections: Spotting errors in metadata or payout configurations.

  • Updating Payee Information: Adjusting payees or percentages after initial approval.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I unapprove multiple statements at once? Yes, use the multi-select feature to unapprove several statements simultaneously.

  • Is there a log of who approved/unapproved a statement? Yes, the system keeps an audit trail showing the user who performed each action and the timestamp.

  • What happens to payout data when a statement is unapproved? Payouts linked to unapproved statements are halted or marked as pending until the statement is re-approved.
