• (v 3.11.118) Author royalty statements: Save As (e.g. to .rtf) – some statements that printed correctly might crash when saving to .rtf. This has been fixed.

• (v 3.11.119) Author payments: the ‘paid/unpaid’ status now remains unlocked even after accounting on a royalty statement (so that unpaid advances which were reported on statements can be subsequently marked as ‘paid’)

• (v 3.11.119) Agent’s package: new document: Author Invoice (invoice for commission on payments received)

• (v 3.11.120) Submissions -> Quick command -> Modify: if the following fields were left blank, the command was incorrectly blanking out the corresponding fields in the selected items: language, license type, season, account executive. This has been fixed.

Easy Royalties file imports now supports static values. What are static values? Static values that populate a field for all records with a common value.

Example: If you receive a sales file from Amazon without a sales date, customer name or territory column you can populate this field for all import records (rows) with a static value. You do not have to open the file to add columns with these values.

If you receive sales files from Amazon UK, Amazon Italy and Amazon Germany you can create a saved map for each file that will automatically populate the customer name (Amazon Italy), territory (Europe) and currency (Euro) fields without having to modify the file.

You can see how static values work by downloading the 30 day trial version of Easy Royalties.

This update is available to licensed users at no charge.
