# Prepare a royalty statement

Adopt [Quantity reconciliation](../../core/std/quantity-reconciliation.md) for the assembled statement. Its source populations are the supplied activity, sales and settlement records; opening state is the identified prior balances; Rules are the license and selected rate, deduction, floor, credit, allocation and settlement requirements applied in the responsibilities below. Bind required quantity layers to the transaction base, earned amount, contractual liability, allocable pool, recipient obligations, credits, holds, tax and settled cash, each with its relevant period, currency, beneficiary and status. Produce a connected statement in the caller's fresh output location from the supplied rights, amendments, contributor evidence, period/cutoff and requested artifacts. Missing records and unresolved items remain visible.

Fulfill [license disposition](license-disposition.md), [usage ledger](usage-ledger.md) and [sales base](sales-base.md) for the relevant populations. Their outputs establish which activity is covered, which events are counted and which monetary base enters [royalty calculation](royalty-calculation.md). An excluded or uncertain event remains visible in the statement; it is not silently declared free or licensed. Bind the same rights, period, cutoff and terms throughout. If the caller supplies a Rate model, forward it only to royalty calculation, preserving its origin and supplying the identified base and opening history.

Fulfill [guarantees and recoupment](guarantees-recoupment.md) on the earned amounts and stipulated opening credits. Supply the resulting allocable amount and selected distribution terms to [contributor allocation](contributor-allocation.md). When the caller identifies prior-period corrections, fulfill [restatement](restatement.md) for those items and show how their deltas enter the current obligation without duplicating original payments or corrupting current counters. Fulfill [payment reconciliation](payment-reconciliation.md) on the recipient obligations and supplied settlements. These are connected responsibilities, not mandatory separate agents.

Forward an explicitly supplied Distribution policy only to this instance's contributor allocation and a Settlement conversion policy only to its payment reconciliation. Supply the latter with original-currency recipient obligations, authorized correction offsets and actual quote evidence. Preserve license, right, period and currency boundaries across all roles. A single product or use may implicate separately stipulated rights and royalty pools; reconcile each before any explicitly authorized combination.

Supply royalty calculation with the relevant payable activity and units as well as the identified monetary bases and opening history. Where the bargain uses units or multiple earning streams, retain those separate inputs and rate-earned components for downstream floors and restricted recoupment. A monetary sales base may be inapplicable to a per-use stream; state why rather than inventing revenue or interpreting its absence as zero earned royalty.

Return the usage and license dispositions, transaction base bridge, rate calculations, guarantee and advance movements, contributor entitlements and holds, correction bridge and settlement reconciliation. Their connected results must satisfy Quantity reconciliation under these exact Rules; a matching final cash amount cannot excuse an incorrect earned amount or other required intermediate relationship. State the period and evidence cutoff to which the result applies.

Methods and presentation are open. Do not conceal missing records with fabricated certainty or describe a balanced schedule as evidence of a completed transfer. Draft preparation is the default boundary. Any expressly composed delivery, payment or posting remains required and needs actual facilities, authority and observable evidence; unavailable effects remain unmet in the overall result.
