Deduction Rules
What are Deduction Rules?
"Deductions Rules" is a mechanism that makes it possible to modify the standard Royalty Rate by applying extra Royalty Rates according to the cases of use provided for in the "Contracts Money Out" and which must be calculated and reported to the Rights-Holder.
In Reprtoir, it is possible to create an unlimited number of Deduction Rules per "Contracts Money Out"
Where can find Deduction Rules?
Deduction Rules are available in the detail panel of Contracts Money Out (see below for more information).
Adding a Deduction Rule
To add Deductions Rules to a Money Out Contract, go to the navigation menu at the left of the Workspace, click on the "Royalty Accounting" icon, browse to the "Legal" section, and click on the "Contracts" list.
In the list, find the Contract Money In to edit and click on its name. This will open the Contract Money In panel.
Under the Money In Contract title, click on the "Details" tab and then the "Terms" tab.
At the bottom right of the Royalty Splits section, click on the orange "New Deduction Rule" button.
A new Deduction Rule section will be added to enter the necessary data for the new Deduction Rule:

Use Case for Deduction
The Contract between Max and the Organization states that Max will receive a 20% Royalty Rate on digital sales, except for download sales on iTunes UK, for which an additional 50% deduction will be applied.
A Reduction Rule is added to the Contract:
- If "Retailer" is "Apple"
- and "Country" is "United Kinkdom"
- and "Sale Type" is "Downloads"
- Then "Deduct" 10 points to "Max"
From there, Max will receive "20%" on the Royalties, except when the rule is applied, he will receive only "10%".
