knkMedia supports royalty accounting at both the work/IP level and the product (ISBN) level, allowing publishers to track revenue and royalties for chapters, hymns, articles, derivative editions, and sub-rights. Each intellectual property element can be modeled as its own IP record and linked to multiple editions, products, and formats. This ensures that revenue from complex publishing structures, such as hymnals, anthologies, multi-work volumes, or serialized content, is allocated accurately to the correct contributors and rights-holders.

knkMedia provides a comprehensive rights and licensing management module that tracks contract terms, granted rights, options, restrictions, expiry dates, availabilities, and subsidiary rights in one centralized system. Users can see exactly which rights are available, which are sold, and which are nearing expiry, enabling proactive licensing and rights exploitation.

Because knkMedia is built natively on Microsoft Dynamics, all rights-related transactions flow directly into the general ledger, ensuring royalty accruals, liabilities, advances, reversals, and sub-rights income are accurately recorded. This integration eliminates spreadsheets and manual reconciliation and ensures full auditability for finance and compliance teams.

Publishers using knkMedia can run repeatable royalty statements in a fraction of the time required with spreadsheets or manual tools, thanks to automated ingestion of sales data, rules-based calculations, and pre-configured dashboards. Royalty reports are accurate, repeatable, and fully transparent, improving both internal efficiency and author satisfaction. 

knkMedia gives publishers the ability to provide authors and agents with precise, transparent, and timely royalty statements, supported by real-time dashboards showing sales by channel, format, or territory. This transparency strengthens author relationships, reduces inquiries, and demonstrates professionalism through reliable reporting.

knkMedia supports royalties for print, eBooks, audiobooks, digital access, subscription models, streaming consumption, and chapter-level access. Each revenue type can have its own royalty rules, splits, and thresholds, ensuring accurate calculation even as new business models emerge, given the relevant sales data.

knkMedia integrates with Microsoft Power BI, enabling publishers to analyze rights utilization, identify high-value territories, track under-leveraged rights, and forecast royalty liabilities. Where required, customers can also connect their data to other Microsoft analytics services, such as MS Fabric, as part of a broader data platform strategy. These analytics support proactive licensing decisions and help publishers maximize their IP revenue.

knkMedia’s rights module allows publishers to assign, track, and license rights for specific languages, territories, and formats. Translation rights deals flow directly into IP-level data structures, ensuring each derivative edition is linked to the original work. This provides a clear lineage of all rights transactions worldwide.

All royalty calculations in knkMedia are driven by a work-centric IP data model, meaning royalties can be traced back to the underlying intellectual property regardless of format or edition. This enables granular financial tracking across reprints, translations, audiobooks, digital access, and more.
