Outbound Royalties and Fees
Accrual, calculation and settlement of royalty payments are essential factors contributing to the overall order-to-cash process. Managing outbound royalties ensures timely and accurate payments to creators, performers and production companies when their IP is used. Due to the volume of transactions processed, the risk of errors resulting from traditional calculation methods has increased. As a result, many licensors fail to capture all the revenue that should be recognized, and licensees risk inaccurate reporting.
The Outbound Royalties and Fees component of the Rights & Royalties module by Vistex allows you to track the usage of royalties and rights between licensees and licensors. It delivers visibility into guarantees and advances and will enable you to calculate, track and draw down royalty monies, spreading them out over time for a more accurate picture of true profitability.
With advanced reporting and analytical tools, you can define royalties due at a product level based on sales, minimizing the risk of nonpayment liability and creating a reliable system to support audit requests from licensors and IP owners.
