How are franchise royalties typically managed in Business Central?

Hi everyone,

I'm researching how businesses using Dynamics 365 Business Central manage franchise royalty calculations and reporting.

For organizations that collect royalties from franchisees, I would appreciate hearing about your current approach:

Do you calculate royalties directly in Business Central or outside the system?
Are royalties managed through Excel spreadsheets, custom development, or a third-party solution?
How do you handle tiered royalty rates, minimum guarantees, and royalty statements?
How do franchisees submit their sales/revenue figures for royalty calculations?
Are there any challenges around audit trails, disputes, GST/VAT handling, or compliance reporting?

I'm particularly interested in understanding common processes, pain points, and whether there are existing solutions that work well within the Business Central ecosystem.

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Note: While my primary interest is in Australian franchisors, I'm interested in hearing experiences from any region using Business Central for royalty management.

Thank you.
