Data Interfaces
for Royalty Information
Payables
No one likes to enter the same
data into multiple places. For example, royalty payables information must be
entered into the accounting software that creates the checks. If your accounting
software can import payables information from a file, Cat's Pajamas may be able
to automate this process. Cat's Pajamas can be customized to export information
from the royalty disbursement report. Release 4.1 has a field within the
author/payee record where the vendor ID or accounts payable code can be stored.
Interested? If so, consult with
your accounting software vendor to determine whether the software can import
payables information. If it can, determine the requirements for importing a
file: Comma-separated-variable (CSV) record format? Fixed-length format? What
data must be in the file? Email the import file requirements to
info@tcpj.com with your request for more
information.
Liabilities
Some publishers post royalty
earnings to their General Ledger on a monthly basis to accurately reflect the
costs associated with each month and to reserve money for royalty payments.
Cat's Pajamas can be customized to export this information, also. Once again,
consult with your accounting software vendor. If it can import royalty earnings
information, determine the requirements for importing a file.
Disbursements
It is also possible for Cat's
Pajamas to be customized to import data from the accounting package to disburse
the royalty payments. Consult with your accounting software vendor to determine
whether the software can export payment information. If it can, obtain
information about the format of the export file. Fixed length files involve
simpler programming than CSV files; but both can be imported into Cat's Pajamas.
For information regarding the cost of a royalty data-export
or import interface, send an email with your name and company name to

of your accounting system.
