Custom royalty statements in Crealo

Crealo’s royalty reporting module automatically generates royalty statements in compliance with your legal obligations.

To avoid any manual reprocessing, Crealo allows you to create and customize your own royalty statement templates based on:

• your internal templates
  
  
• your partners’ requirements
  
  
• specific constraints in certain countries

‍

Two types of royalty statements available by default in Crealo

‍

Crealo offers two standard royalty statement formats.

The detailed statement by title, presented in both gross and net amounts, shows the sales for a given work over the period, their breakdown by channel, the calculation bases applied, and the royalties generated.

The consolidated royalty statement brings together, in a single document, all the titles associated with a beneficiary, the royalties generated for each one, and the total for the period. It provides a concise format suited to authors or rights holders with several titles published by the same publisher.

In addition to these standard templates, Crealo allows you to create custom statements tailored to your specific needs.

‍

Create statements that meet your partners’ requirements

‍

This feature is particularly useful when you need to send a statement to:

• an entity requiring a specific royalty statement format
  
• a literary agency
  
• an international partner
  
• another publishing house as part of a co-publishing agreement
  
• partners outside the publishing sector who use their own templates
• partners involved in licensing activities with specific reporting formats and schedules
  
  

In some countries, royalty statement presentation standards can be highly specific.

‍

Our royalty statement generation tool allows you to adapt your templates to meet these requirements without any manual reprocessing.

‍

Full layout customization

The layout of your statements can be fully customized.

You can, for example:

• choose the export format: PDF, Google Sheets, or Excel
  
  
• add your logo in the desired position
  
  
• add or remove columns
  
  
• freely organize information blocks
  
  
• create custom summary tables, including totals of royalties according to your own criteria

‍

How do you configure a custom statement in Crealo?

‍

Custom statements rely on the data already available in Crealo.

You configure your statement template once by selecting the information to display. Each time a statement is generated, the corresponding data and amounts are automatically inserted. No manual re-entry is required.

‍

Define your template once

‍

It can then be reused for all your royalty reporting cycles. Each new statement generated from the template automatically uses the updated data for the relevant period.

‍

How do you activate custom statements in your Crealo workspace?

‍

Custom statements can be activated on your Crealo account.
