Improvement
Previously, the Payment Terms for contacts and bookings were restricted to a defined list of options.
This has been changed so you can now enter any number of days for the payment term:

Talent Uploads in Bookings
New
For any circumstances where agents require either a voucher, receipt, or waiver form to be completed and uploaded for a booking, they can now enable talent uploads in that booking.
Talent will then see the Upload option available in their Syngency Mobile booking screen, and can upload the required documents.
These will then appear in the Attachments tab of the booking, with the name of each talent it was uploaded by:
Invoice Splits
New
The latest in a string of long-awaited features is finally here – introducing Invoice Splits.
You can now create up to six invoices per booking, and divide the gross amount between them.
Under Details > Invoice in the booking, select the number of invoices the booking should be split across:
Either as percentages:
Or as fixed amounts:
The dropdown in the Invoice tab switches between each invoice:
And updates the Amount Due for each invoice split:
Create Booking from Package
New
A much-requested feature has finally arrived, with the ability to now create a new Booking directly from a Package.
From the package dropdown menu, select Create Booking:
Enter your booking details as you would when creating it from the Calendar – making sure you add Schedule Dates:
When you create the new booking, each talent from the package will be added, with this schedule added for each.
We hope that this will speed up your workflow from package-to-booking considerably!

Default billing codes for talent
New
If you use Syngency's accounting integration with QuickBooks or Xero, you likely also use Billing Codes to override the account codes used in your invoices.
Often you will have specific billing codes for certain talent (based on their division, or the type of talent), and you can now set a default billing code to be used for line items in their Invoices or Bills.
First, set the default billing codes to be used for this talent's invoices and bills in the Accounts tab of the talent's profile.
Then each time you add this talent to a booking, the default billing codes will be pre-selected in both the Fees modal for the invoice:
And the talent's Settings modal for the bill:
This offers you full customisation of which accounts talent line items are coded to in your accounting system.
Autosave Message field details in Booking > Email Talent.
New
How many times have you finished entering the perfect message to send to your talent from a booking, only to realize that you need to change one thing last-minute?
You click out of the window, make the changes, and realize that your carefully-crafted email message has now disappeared!
It can be frustrating when this happens too often – so we have added instant-autosave to the Message field.
Now, any time you enter new details, they are automatically saved and remain there until you send your talent email.
Auto-complete for Talent and Contact addresses
New
Syngency is now using the Google Places API to provide full auto-completion for contact names and addresses. This makes entering the correct details for your contacts quick and easy:
If the additional details are available, the API will also populate the Phone and Website fields for the contact.
Auto-completion is available for all talent address contacts:
Secure your Syngency account with 2FA
New
We now provide an additional layer of security for your – and your agency's – Syngency account. Two-Factor Authentication with Authy is now available for all Syngency users.
For more information on 2FA, and how it can ensure maximum security for your agency and its data, read our help article here.
Sortable divisions in talent profile
New
You can now change the preferred order of the divisions your talent are assigned to, by simply drag/dropping them in the Divisions tab of their profile.
If a new division is moved to the beginning, it will become the default division for the talent – used in searches or packages if a division hasn't been selected.
