The Batch process for Royalty Run allows the monthly run process to be automated for a selected range of months, royalty groups, payment frequencies and contracts. This should only be run when a batch run for royalties is needed. With the batch run, you have the option to run for a list of contracts, which can be handy if you want to recalculate royalty for a few contracts. The list of contracts is entered using function ‘F14=Contract list’.
- In the menu, expand Publishing Modules > Rights & Permission > Period Processing and Others > Monthly Royalty Run and double-click Royalty Monthly Batch Process Run. RYO005 Batch Processing of Monthly Run selection panel appears.
