Customers with licensed art are setup in FDM4 to allow the user to choose between different royalty options when creating art. Every customer's licensing/royalty agreements are different, so it it important to be knowledgable at the customer level or work with the Game One Royalties team to determine the correct setup. For example: sometimes a customer may charge royalties for external usage of their licensed art (bookstore orders, reseller orders) but they may exempt orders when the art is used internally (team uniforms, staff & travel gear)
When entering a quote/order, you may notice a Royalties charge on the Services Tab. If the order you are entering is exempt from paying royalties, follow these steps:
- Click the Hamburger (next to Check Stock)
- Select Manage Royalty Exemptions
- Click Add
- Ensure the "Exempt from Royalties" box is checked and Save
- Close the window and the services screen should now reflect a zero Royalty Charge
Below is a video recording of this process outlined above.
