Overview

Qlero allows contracts to be attached to individual tracks or releases to control how income from sales and costs are divided. Each piece of repertoire — a track or a release — can have one or more contracts attached.

​
Track-level vs release-level assignments

An important distinction exists between these two approaches:
  • Track-level: Applied to specific recordings when the financial split varies by individual recording
  • Release-level: Applied to the entire release, typically for income reported at the release level (such as physical sales)
Critically, these assignment types operate independently—attaching a contract to a release does NOT automatically apply it to its individual tracks, and vice versa.

​
Assignment components

Each contract assignment consists of three elements:
  1. Contract — The specific contract participating in income or costs
  2. Connection type — Determines participation scope:
    • Sales (income from sales)
    • Costs (allocated costs)
  3. Participation rate — The percentage of relevant amounts the contract receives
Note that participation rates need not total 100%, allowing partial coverage scenarios.

​
Configuration overrides

Both tracks and releases support overrides that modify contract assignments based on specific dimensions:
  • Sale type (e.g., streaming vs. physical)
  • Source (e.g., specific distributors)
  • Store (e.g., particular retailers)
Overrides replace standard assignments when conditions match and can be cleared to restore regular assignments.
