How to import public performance payment statements

Always working on our commitment to facilitate your metadata and royalty management, we have created a tool to import public performance payment statements from the music societies (performing rights organizations – PRO) that are associated with ECAD in Brazil. Unlike in most countries, in Brazil there’s a central entity called ECAD to guide the PROs.

This tutorial is about their default report. Besides that default report, ECAD also provides two other types that complement the information. One is the SD report, related to public performance credits in digital services, and the  other is the AP report, related to the anticipation of retained royalties.

To find out how to download the ECAD statements, select your music society below:

• ABRAMUS
• UBC
• AMAR
• ASSIM
• SBACEN
• SICAN
• SOCINPRO

How it’s done

1) Enter the “Public Performance” section

Go to the “Public Performance” section (1), under “Earnings” and click on the actions button in the lower right corner of the screen to find the “Import” button (2).

2) Select the file to import

When you click on the “Import” button, a window will appear with the options:

• Report type: which should be that of the company that represents you;
• File: where you will select your payment statement. That is the file you have received or downloaded from your Performance Rights Organization;
• Notify everyone: A checkbox so that all users in your company are notified when the report import is complete.

After inserting the file, just press “Import“.

Ready! You can now view monthly charts and get a better understanding on your public performance earnings.
