Version 1.424 is the biggest single update to PubGizmo, and it provides many new requested features, improvements, and some bug fixes. It is a stage in a cycle toward the next major update, which will include ONIX support.
Contracts
Permissions Are Now Rights
Permissions sales have been removed from the contract layout, and moved to the title record area, bottom-left, in a tab. You can here record subsidiary right receivables for the title, and amounts will be disbursed to contractees according to the rate set on the contract in the rights portal.
Payments
Support for "interim" payments: you can pay an author before the end of a royalty period (e.g., to disburse a large rights sale amount, or to provide an early payment to an author in need), and this amount will be deducted from the next royalty payment.
Royalty Statements
Many requested changes have been made to the entire royalty statement "package." Two new pages have been added, and will render in PDFs or printable according to various complex rules.
Main Statement Page
Shows for all royalties.
- Payment area move to bottom-right, at the foot of the amounts cluster.
- Payment area is capable of showing, when relevant, deductions to the payment amount (in italics), and taxes include in the payment.
- Lifetime Sales now at the top, to the right of the title.
- New escalation breakdown at bottom-left
- Permission sales have been expanded to include all subsidiary rights, and will list the full amount collected, plus the right's rate from the contract, and the amount disbursed to the contractee. These will list at the bottom-left, unless there are too many, in which case they move to page 2 (see below).
- Interim payments made during the select royalty period will appear here, in italics, signifying to bind them to the italicized deductions shown in the payment area.
Second Statement Page
A second statement page will be appended if required. The page replaces the editions cluster on the first page with relevant sections of data, including:
- Rights sales, if these don't fit on page 1
- Interim payments, if these do not fit on page 1.
