Migrating your catalog from Eddy to Infinite Catalog

Migrating Catalog Metadata

Setting up your catalog within IC is as easy as starting to import data from where you last left off in Eddy - however, depending on the size of your catalog and configuration of your catalog's metadata, it may be preferable to migrate your existing catalog metadata instead. To do so, catalog metadata can be exported from Eddy from the Catalog page in the dashboard by clicking the "Export to CSV" button as shown below:

This CSV export can be used to transpose unified catalog metadata data to IC for a Catalog Import into our system.

Migrating Contract Data

At present, Eddy does not allow for an export of contract data (i.e. splits) from their platform. Contract data can, however, be accessed from the Contracts page in the dashboard in order to determine contract splits and terms for IC setup. Each contract consists of several components, as outlined below:

• Content - the Releases associated with the contract
• Sales Channels - Format breakdown with corresponding royalty rates by territory
• Right Holder - Payees - the Main Artist Payee(s) and their share(s) of the Sales Channel splits
• Cross-contract deductions - information regarding linked contracts (i.e. Producer contracts, which are separate) and the recoupment policy
• Carryover - any balance(s) carried over and applied to the contract terms (i.e. Starting Balances)
• Rate Escalation - the escalation terms of the contract
• Changelog - a log of revisions made to the contract

These contract details - namely Payee and corresponding Split detail - can then be referenced when setting up contracts within IC.

Migrating Transactions

If migrating historic Transactions from Eddy, transactional exports by Reporting period (i.e. Paid Timestamp) can be facilitated from the Insights exporter in the Global Insights Portal and ingested into IC using the Eddy (Reporting Period) importer following the instructions detailed here in our Knowledge Base. In addition, individual Sources can be selected if only accounting for Transactions from individual Sources (for example, Manually added transactions).

Eddy also stores the originally uploaded data from data source imports on the Sales Import page.

Migrating Costs (Expenses) and Advances

At present, Eddy does not allow for an export of cost (expense) or advance transactions from their platform. These totals can, however, be accessed from the Costs-advances portal from the label dashboard.

Costs in Eddy are categorized as "Shared Costs" (i.e. a typical IC expense, recouped from project income) or "Artist Cost" (i.e. shouldered at a 100% rate by the payee[s] on the contract) on the All Costs page in Eddy. Costs are also tied to a contract or set of Releases and can be effectively crossed or uncrossed depending on the contract applied.

Advances are listed with their corresponding Payee and Total on the Advances Page. These totals can be entered as transfers into IC.

Migrating Starting Balances

Payee Starting Balances can be found on PDF statement files retrieved from the Statements Portal in Eddy using the Final balance due to payee figure on the most recent statement(s) in the system. These balances can then be imported into IC following the instructions detailed here in order to migrate payee balances into IC.
