What Are Contract Alerts?
Contract alerts show differences between a linked Royaltyport contract and its linked Curve contract(s). The integration compares royalty rules (rates), catalog (matched vs unmatched assets), and costs. Alerts help you see where Royaltyport and Curve disagree so you can fix data in one system or the other before syncing, or confirm that differences are intentional.Contract alerts are in beta. The comparison logic and UI may be refined over time.
Where to Find Alerts
In Curve → Links → Contracts, use the sidebar and select Alerts. The Alerts view is only available when the Contracts tab is active. It lists contracts that have at least one linked Curve contract and shows whether they have detected differences.Alert Table
The table includes:| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Contract | Royaltyport contract (Assignee × Assignor) and contract ID, with link to open in Royaltyport. |
| Issues | Badges for the types of differences: Rates, Catalog, Costs. |
| Curve Contracts | Number of linked Curve contracts for this Royaltyport contract. |
| Has Differences | Yes (check) or No (X) — whether any differences were detected. |
| Actions | Link to open the contract in Royaltyport. |
Expanded View (Details)
When you expand a row or open the detail view:- AI Summary — A short, human-readable summary of the differences.
- Last checked — When the comparison was last run (e.g. by the weekly background job or after a sync).
- Per Curve contract — For each linked Curve contract: contract name (link to Curve), assignor → payee.
- Detail tabs:
- Rates — Track-level comparison of royalty rates (e.g. participation, deal terms) between Royaltyport and Curve.
- Catalog — Unmatched assets: catalog items that exist in one system but not the other or don’t match.
- Costs — Cost rules and comparisons between Royaltyport and Curve.
Issue Types
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Rates | Differences in royalty/participation rules (e.g. rate, territory, channel) between Royaltyport and Curve. |
| Catalog | Catalog (tracks/releases) linked in one system but not the other, or different mappings. |
| Costs | Differences in cost rules or deductions between Royaltyport and Curve. |
How Alerts Are Updated
Differences are computed when:- The weekly background job runs (after linking payees, catalog, and contracts) and triggers a contract-difference check for the project.
- A sync run or other process triggers a comparison for specific contracts.
Next Steps
Syncing Contracts
Run syncs after reviewing and resolving alerts.
Linking Contracts
Ensure all contracts are linked before relying on alerts.
