When you should consider recalculating a period

If you published a royalty period and discovered inaccuracies in sales, costs, catalog, contracts, or transactions that cannot be resolved in the next royalty calculation, you may consider running a period recalculation. Please note you can only recalculate an entire period, not just a single statement.

Who can recalculate a period?

Company members with the “Edit royalty periods” permission may recalculate a period.

If your period is still Approved (not yet published)

If a period hasn't been published yet — after send for approval, waiting to be funded or closed — you don't need to find "the most recently published period" at all; that rule only applies once a period has actually been published. Just recalculate the period directly from its own page:

1. Open the period. Its status bar will show payout/funding actions (Fund, Close period, or Download Payment Details, depending on your payment setup).
2. Look for a "Recalculate period" button.
   • For most companies, it's a smaller, secondary-styled button sitting just below the more prominent Close period button — easy to miss since it's visually de-emphasized.
   • If your company pays out through Airwallex, it's instead inside the ••• menu near the top of the payment summary.
3. Click it to start a recalculation draft, the same as recalculating a published period (see below) — you can then add the missing transactions, sales, or costs before publishing.

The Recalculate period button is disabled if a later period already exists for the same contract group, or if a recalculation is already in progress for this period — finish or delete that one first.

How to recalculate a published period

You can only recalculate the most recently published period for each contract group.

For example, given these periods:

• 2024H1 Default (Closed)
• 2024H1 Priority (Funded)
• 2024H2 Default (Closed)
• 2024H2 Priority (Draft)
