New

Xero and QuickBooks users can now view and manage payments for each booking, after payments are made to talent in Xero and QuickBooks.

You'll notice a new Payments section appears after Expenses in the talent's tab in the booking, listing the payments made to them and any outstanding amount still due.

In the example above, a $4,800 payment leaves a zero-balance due, based on a gross rate of $6,000 less Agency Commission of $1,200.

If the December 16 payment is removed, the amount due will be $800:

So you'll easily be able to tell exactly what has been paid to the talent, and if there is any outstanding balance due.

You'll now see new activity badges appearing at the top of your bookings, talent, and contact profiles, illustrating activities or statuses at-a-glance.

Syngency's inclusive mode was previously based on percentage only, which calculated like this:

Inclusive Rate = New Amount + Percentage

We have now released a new "Amount" inclusive mode, which calculates the inclusive rate by subtracting the percentage of the original rate from the rate:

Inclusive Rate = New Amount - ( New Amount / Percentage )

You can select which Inclusive Mode your agency uses from Settings > Accounts > Inclusive Fees:

It's now possible to mass-select and manage the divisions, groups, tags, and published status of multiple talent at once.

Improvement

We have released a number of improvements for Reports this month:

Additional date filters for revenue and MAC reports

These reports can now also be filtered by Talent Payment Date as well as Any Date within the date range selected.

Talent-specific MAC reports

You can now view a MAC report for a specific talent only.

Logo on PDF reports

If you have uploaded a logo from Settings > Details, it will now appear at the top of your PDF reports.

Reimbursement summary for talent statement PDFs

The PDF version of talent statements now shows a summary of any expenses reimbursed from jobs during the selected date range, so the talent has a clear understanding of what is being reimbursed from specific jobs:

New

Previously you could only manage bookouts and chart notes from a talent's chart.

We've now added these features to the main Schedules chart, so you can quickly manage agency-wide chart notes and bookouts for your talent – all from the one screen.

Clicking (or clicking and dragging for multiple days) on the chart will display a popup menu from which you can select the type of entry you would like to add.

Clicking on a Bookout will open its details in a modal window, so you can edit it directly, without having to be redirected to the talent's profile.

We hope this makes managing your chart even faster in Syngency.

New

If you've assigned a contact in the Production tab of a booking, that contact now has their own Productions tab in their contact profile. You'll see a list of all the productions (bookings) they've been added to.
