What are Other Incomes?

Other Incomes are non statement based revenues recorded directly by the Organization, outside of the royalty statement ingestion pipeline.

They represent amounts earned from sources that are not reported through structured royalty statement files, such as synchronizations, negotiated deals, licenses, one off payments, or manually reported revenues.

Other Incomes are recorded as credits in the Organization’s accounting, but they follow simpler processing rules than Royalty Statement Incomes.

What Other Incomes are used for

Other Incomes are typically used to record revenues such as:

synchronization fees
licensing revenues
direct payments
manual revenue adjustments
non usage based income sources

These revenues usually do not require line level matching, complex normalization, or large scale royalty calculations.

How Other Incomes differ from Royalty Statement Incomes

The key differences between Other Incomes and Royalty Statement Incomes are structural and operational.

Other Incomes:

are not file driven
do not rely on Statement Providers
do not require identifier based matching
are processed immediately or with minimal validation

Royalty Statement Incomes:

are file based
rely on Statement Providers
require identifier matching against the catalog
involve multi step processing and validation
generate large scale royalty calculations

Because of these differences, Other Incomes follow a dedicated documentation path.

Where to find Other Incomes

Other Incomes are displayed in the same Incomes list as Royalty Statement Incomes.

To access them, open the navigation menu on the left, click the “Royalty Accounting” icon, locate the “Transactions” section, and click the “Incomes” list.

The Income Type column allows you to distinguish Royalty Statement Incomes from Other Income types.

Common characteristics of Other Incomes

Other Incomes generally share the following characteristics:

a defined payer
a direct link to one or more Money In Contracts
a clear accounting amount
limited or no dependency on catalog assets
no statement file ingestion

Depending on the Income type, they may still trigger royalty calculations based on contractual splits.

When to use Other Incomes
