Royalties

Royalties brings flexible contract management, automated calculations, settlement processing, reporting, and compliance controls into Business Central.

• Flexible royalty agreement management: Create and manage royalty agreements from a centralized record in Business Central. Define fixed or percentage-based royalty structures, configure rate tiers, enforce minimum guarantees, and support terms based on items, item groups, brands, sub-brands, customers, customer groups, or sales regions. The app supports multiple payees on a single contract with configurable splits, making it easier to manage complex royalty relationships. Teams can also attach contract documentation, notes, and supporting details directly to the agreement for better visibility and control.

• Automated royalty calculation and tracking: Automate royalty calculations as transactions are posted through accounts receivable or accounts payable workflows. Royalties can be calculated by date range, contract, or customer group, helping finance teams process obligations accurately and efficiently. The app supports fixed fees, percentage-based royalties, minimum guarantees, inventory-based royalties, and non-inventory royalty scenarios. This reduces reliance on manual calculations and helps ensure royalties are tracked consistently across the business.

• Accrual, settlement, and payment processing: Manage royalty accruals and settlements directly in Business Central. The app helps teams generate purchase or sales invoices for royalty settlement, apply custom payment frequencies, and align royalty activity with existing financial processes. Finance users can view royalties owed or earned, analyze upcoming obligations, and calculate projected liabilities before payment deadlines. This improves cash flow visibility and helps reduce last-minute reconciliation work.
