How do license agreements and royalties work?

One licence agreement per licensor: the products covered, the royalty on each, and an optional fixed fee.

A license agreement records a deal with a company you pay for the right to make or sell their products. The licensor is an ordinary supplier account, so everything you owe them lands on one statement and is settled with a normal payment.

Each agreement holds:

• The products covered, each with its own royalty basis and rate. Royalty builds up automatically on every sale of a covered product, and is reversed if that sale is returned.
• An optional fixed fee — monthly, quarterly or yearly. When a period ends the app prepares a draft bill for you to review and post; nothing is posted behind your back.
• The dates it runs between. Outside that window nothing builds up and no fee bills appear.

When terms change, that is a new agreement rather than an edit — as long as its dates do not overlap the old one.

Deleting an agreement stops future royalties but never touches your books. Bills you already posted, and the royalty already recorded, stay exactly where they are.
