Order type
The most important control values in the system are the order types. They determine the rules for booking, budget calculation, invoicing, commitment and forecast calculation of the spots within the system.
Set up of order types
General data
- Name - textfield for the name of the order type
- Identifier - textfield for the identifier (has to be unique)
- Detailed information on the checkboxes in the upcoming step
- Transaction type - selection of the transaction type the order type will belong to (e.g. classic, countertrade)
- Price type - selection of the price type
- GRP invoice - if the flag is set, the suborders of this order type are invoiced via GRP invoicing. In GRP invoicing the listprices are ignored and instead the Cost per GRPs of the spots are taken into account.
- Default4Suborder - the order type is automatically used for newly created suborders if the flag is set. Please note: it is only possible to determine one order type as default.
- Is accountable - the flag determines whether the order type can be invoiced.
- Clusters - allocation of the order type to at least one order type group.
- Booking type - selection of the booking typ which determines spot settings like exportability, reduction of free length availability.
- Automated break optimizing FairShare - if the flag is set, the break positions of the bookings of this order type can be reorganized and optimized via fair share values.
- Window filler - the flag determines whether suborders of this order type may be booked on feed channels.
- Manual invoice - if the flag is set, suborders of this order type have to be invoiced with the manual invoice module.
Settings
There are several flags that can be set to determine the calculation of spots that are booked with this ordertype:
- MediaGross - spots on this order type generate media gross if the flag is set. In case the flag is not set, the spots are free of charge.
- BNS-relevant - if the flag is set, the order type is included in the calculation of the "Brutto-Netto-Schere" (balance of list prices and actually negotiated prices)
- Discountable - discounts can be deducted from spots on the order type if the flag is set
- CMT counting - compensation resp. media gross of spots on this order type add to commitments.
- Lock - the order type is locked for new suborders and cannot be selected anymore. Already existing suborders are not affected by the lock. Order types cannot be deleted.
- Forecast relevant - suborders of this order type are used for forecasting
- Discount generating - the booked media gross budget is used for the calculation of the standard discounts values
- Demand CMT - the media gross of the spots is entitled to commitment rebates in kind.
Replaceable order types
Order types that are allocated as replaceable order types can be replaced in case of overbooking.
Example:
Order type B is replaceable by order type A. If an ad break is almost completely booked and contains spots of order type B, users with respective rights are allowed to overbook the break with spots of order type A.
Rights management
It is possible to assign particular rights to the order type.
