Linking Contracts

​

How Contract Linking Works

Each Royaltyport contract you want to sync to Curve must be linked to a Curve contract. The integration can suggest links based on assignor, catalog (ISRC/UPC/names), and contract type. You can approve suggestions or link and unlink manually. Contract links are stored in safe linking mode so that difference checks and syncs use a stable mapping.

​

Linked Tab

Under Links → Contracts → Linked you’ll see: Columns include Contract (Royaltyport) (shown as Assignee × Assignor), Contract (Curve), Reason, and Actions. There are links to open the contract in Royaltyport and in Curve. You can filter by RP contract search (assignee/assignor names), Curve contract search, and row type.

​

Matching Reasons (Linked Tab)

Links may have been created because of:

• Matching assignor and catalog (ISRC) — Same assignor and matching catalog by ISRC.
• Matching assignor and catalog (UPC) — Same assignor and matching catalog by UPC.
• Matching assignor and catalog (track name) — Same assignor and matching track name.
• Matching assignor and catalog (release name) — Same assignor and matching release name.

​

Actions on the Linked Tab

• Linked — Unlink (with confirmation) to remove the link. Link is disabled.
• Unlinked RP contract — Link (pencil) opens the edit modal to choose a Curve contract.
• Unlinked Curve contract — Link (pencil) opens the edit modal to choose a Royaltyport contract.

​

Suggested Tab

The Suggested tab lists possible contract matches that the system has proposed. Suggestion reasons can include:

• Matching catalog (ISRC only) — Catalog matches by ISRC.
• Matching catalog (UPC only) — Catalog matches by UPC.
• Matching track name only — Track name match.
• Matching release name only — Release name match.
• Matching assignor and contract type — Same assignor and contract type.

For each suggestion you can Approve (create the link) or Reject (dismiss; contracts stay unlinked).

​

Manual Linking (Edit Modal)

When you click Link on an unlinked Royaltyport or Curve contract:

• RP contract mode — The Royaltyport contract is fixed; you choose a Curve contract from a searchable dropdown.
• Curve contract mode — The Curve contract is fixed; you choose a Royaltyport contract from a searchable dropdown.

If there is a suggestion, it may be pre-selected with the reason shown. You can keep it or pick another contract. Saving creates the link with safe linking, so it is used consistently for syncs and contract difference checks.

​

Safe Linking

Contract links created through the integration (including from suggestions) are stored with safe linking. That means they are treated as confirmed mappings for:

• Pushing contract and term data to Curve during sync runs.
• Pulling and comparing data from Curve for contract alerts (rates, catalog, costs).

Complete contract linking and resolve any alerts before starting new sync runs so data stays consistent.
