Settlements are the final financial reconciliation for each event. They bring together sales revenue, expenses, splits, and adjustments into a single, clear picture of what each party is owed.

​
What’s in a settlement?

A settlement includes:

​
Settlement workflow

​
Settlement reports

Generate a Settlement Report for any event to get a formatted document suitable for:
  • Venue settlement meetings
  • Label or management review
  • Tax records
  • Audit trail
The settlement report breaks down every line item and calculation, providing full transparency into the numbers.

​
Settlement summary

At the tour level, the Settlement Summary aggregates data across all events:
  • Total revenue across the tour
  • Total expenses
  • Total splits paid to venues
  • Net artist earnings
  • Unsettled events (events still pending settlement)
Settle events promptly after each show. The longer you wait, the harder it is to reconcile discrepancies. Aim to review and approve settlements within 48 hours of each event.

​
Disputed settlements

If there’s a disagreement with a venue about the settlement (e.g., disputed split amounts or missing adjustments):
  1. Pull the Settlement Report for the event
  2. Review the transaction-level detail
  3. Compare against the venue’s records
  4. Make adjustments as needed and re-approve
The audit trail in Fanhaven tracks every change to settlement data, so there’s always a record of what was modified and by whom.
