5.2.2 One-step communication

Figure 1 shows a simple scenario where only one music licensing company has the mandate to collect revenue. In this context it has or may receive a claim in respect of that revenue. It then wishes to report and pay these revenues to the rights controller or administrator, typically a record company. In this scenario, the record company is the claimant, and the music licensing company is both the collecting and paying music licensing company. There is no claiming music licensing company in this scenario.

In this instance the sender of the message, the music licensing company, shall populate the following records:

• CollectingMlcName;

• PayingMlcName;

• CollectingMlcAllocatedPartyId; and

• PayingMlcAllocatedPartyId.
