The package master data provide an annual overview of the bookings on the package within the validity period. The time periods (framed red on the screenshot) define the time slots relevant for consumer research. Bookings within the particular time slots are evalutated for statistical purposes by the GfK (Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung), e.g. for audience rating. How and if the days of broadcast are divided into individual dayparts depends on the customers. The time slots that divide the days of broadcast are determined by the GfK.

The buttons beneath the table are explained below (from left to right):

• MG1: media gross - shows the gross value of  the bookings e.g. within the time slots
• MG2: list prices (depending on price model) - prices for basic lengths can be stored in the system, spots of 30 seconds length for instance cost 100€ in tariff category X combined with price group Y. These list prices are put together in price folders. Each price folder is allocated to one price model, e.g. a linear one. The outcome of this is the prices of the bookings.
• MG3: linear prices (value) of the booked advertising space - this is the "real" value of the ad space, thus the price the ad space would cost if all spots were charged with their full prices.
• o NR %: balance - difference between MG3 and MG2
• MN1: media net (media gross - cash discount) - MG1 less cash rebates granted
• MN2: media net2 (MN1 - AE) - MN1 less agency discounts granted
• MN3: media net3 (MN2 - Skonto) - MN2 less discounts for cash granted
• Spots: number of spots - total of booked spots over the year
• V: seconds - total of booked seconds
• o V: average seconds - amount of seconds each spot lasts on average
• o SP: average price per second (MG3 / seconds) - value of the booked ad space divided by the total of seconds
• % MG1: media gross balance -  percentaged allocation of media gross to the respective time slots of the months. At the end of the year it´s a total of 100% media gross allocated to the months and time slots. The sum of all months' MG1 must be 100% at the end of the year. Just as that the sum of the time slots' MG1 must also be 100% at the end of the year. Example1: MG1 allocated to 3 months (20% + 30% + 50%). Adding the 3 months up, the total will be 100%. Example2: within the time slots the MG1 is distributed as follows: 10% between 0-6 a.m., 25% between 6-12 a.m., 15% between 12-5 p.m. and 50% between 5 to 0 p.m. The total will also be 100%.
• % MG3: distribution according to ad space value - real value of the bookings in relation to the ad spaces' just value.
• % MN3: distribution according to MN3 (Cash-In) - net value of the bookings after having granted rebates and cash discounts. The distribution is calculated as follows: 100 divided by all months' total net values resp. time slots multiplied with total net value of the particular month resp. time slot. Example: total-MN3 = 26.470; MN3 of june = 1.201 ==> 100 / 26470 * 1201 = 4,54%
• Yield: profitability in % (MN3 / MG3 *100 = Cash-In / Wert *100) - media net after having granted rebates and cash discounts divided by the real price of the booked ad space.
• %o NR %: balance distribution - the percentage that the particular month resp. time slots contributes to the total balance
• Exp D: table content exportable exportierbar (german notation)
• Exp E: table content exportable exportierbar (english notation)

If you click on the booking values within the particular time slots (framed turquois on booking overview) the spot viewer is opened in a new window. It contains all relevant data of the package´s bookings in the selected time slot. The booked break for instance, date of broadcast, suborder and further information are displayed. At the bottom of the window the following values are displayed as total: number of spots, total length of spots, media gross, list price.

The aim of GRP-packages is to reach as many viewers of the advertiser´s resp. his products' target group as possible. It´s possible to determine a target-GRP for the package which is supposed to be met at the end of the package´s validity. Spots of GRP-packages are booked in a specific view of the Optimizer. In this view the GRP the booking would reach in the selected break is displayed.
If the user determines a value for the minimum GRP of a booking in the package, it´s only allowed to place bookings that at least meet this value.

GRP-packages are invoiced via the GRP-invoice. Analogue to invoicing common orders you need to specify the order number and the invoicing period before the billing run can be started.
