Example documentationExample: Acquisition Contract with Separate Rights and Royalties Items

 

You want to represent license acquisition contracts, which contain different royalties rates (price agreements) for rights acquired collectively. An exploitation-dependent calculation of royalties is to be performed here.

Representation in the License Acquisition Contract

You agree to an alternative royalties rate with the author for books sold in the Book Clubs market segment.

  1. When creating the rights scope in the license acquisition contract, use item category IER1 (IPM acquisition rights item) from the Customizing settings, or a corresponding item category that you define in the customer name space. You maintain the rights for this item, but no royalties rates.

  2. Create two sub-items for the item generated in the preceding step with item category IEY2 (IPM acquisition royalties item with difference calculation) from the Customizing settings, or a corresponding item category that you define in the customer name space. Use these sub-items to maintain the royalties agreements.

    • Define a royalties scope which includes the market All, Except Book Clubs and maintain the corresponding royalties rates for sub-item 1.

    • Define a royalties scope that includes the Book Clubs market and maintain the corresponding royalties rates for sub-item 2.

    • Assign the royalties scopes to the rights scope.

Result

The exploitation data received is valued and settled separately by markets.
