Use

This function is used to enter the sold-to party and advertisers.

Integration

It is available as follows for sales document creation and modification:

The advertiser overview and a detail screens have been combined on the Advertiser tab page.

The system displays all advertisers that have been assigned to the selected item in the advertiser overview. When you assign an additional advertiser to an item and confirm the data, the system copies the advertiser data from the detail screen into the overview.

Prerequisites

A sold-to party and advertisers are to be entered for sales documents. This can involve a direct order, agency order or agency order with one or more anonymous advertisers.

The sold-to party and advertisers have been created as Media customers in the master data.

The agency indicator has been selected in the master data for these business partners.

The agency indicator can be selected in the media customer master data on the Media Control Data and Advertising Sales and Distribution tab pages. You have defined the agency indicator to be evaluated in Customizing.

If you have not created a sold-to party as a media customer in the master data, you can do so in standard and central access and classified order entry. The Create Media Customer in Dialog and Create Media Customer in the Background functions are available to you here.

You have made all the relevant settings in Customizing. You have defined system response for creditworthiness and credit query checks:

Creditworthiness or credit query checks for a media customer are specified in the business partner master data on the Media Control Data or Advertising Sales and Distribution tab pages. You have defined the field to be evaluated in Customizing.

If credit queries or creditworthiness information has been entered in the sold-to party or payer master data, the system can display a warning or an error message here. You define system response here when you define the Creditworthiness or Credit query fields in Customizing.

If a blocking indicator has been selected in the sold-to party, advertiser or payer master data, this prevents the respective business partner from being assigned to the sales document.

If the business or home telephone number for the sold-to party or advertiser has been entered in the telephone barring list, the system displays a warning when you assign these business partners. The sold-to party and advertiser can be assigned to the sales document.

Features

Enter sold-to parties and advertisers

The sold-to party is assigned to the sales document.

The advertiser, payer and bill-to party are assigned to the item.

A sales document can contain document items with the same sold-to party but different advertisers, payers and bill-to parties.

In a basic example, the sold-to party performs the advertiser, payer and bill-to party roles.

Direct orders

The system defines the payer and bill-to party for all advertisers from the master data for the respective advertiser.

Agency orders

A sold-to party must be entered for an agency order. The Agency ord. indicator is selected on the Details tab page and the Agency indicator is selected in the order header. The system does not define the advertiser from the sold-to party master data.

The system defines the payer and bill-to party in agency orders from the sold-to party master data.

The fields available to you for entering advertisers, payers and bill-to parties are dependent on whether a direct order or an agency order is involved. The Agency commission or Alternate advertiser number fields are for instance only available to you on the Advertiser tab page if you enter an agency order.

Orders with several advertisers

If you have assigned more than one advertiser to an item, the system selects the Advertiser indicator on the Details tab page.

If you assign several advertisers to an item, you can divide the item between these advertisers as a percentage or by column millimeters. Each advertiser must pay the full amount if you do not divide the item between them. If you do not assign a share to an advertiser, the system values the share for this advertiser as 100% when it generates the billing datasets.

The first advertiser defines the industry sector at item level. The Insert Advertiser function can be used to change the sequence of assigned advertisers.

Select alternate business partners and additional addresses

If you have entered an alternate business partner as the payer or bill-to party in the sold-to party master data or an additional address for the bill-to party role, the system offers you these alternate business partners and additional addresses for selection during document processing.

If you have entered an alternate payer or bill-to party in the master data for an additional advertiser or additional addresses for the bill-to party, the system also offers you these alternate business partners and additional addresses for selection.

You must enter an address for a bill-to party. You are offered valid addresses for selection here. If you do not want to assign any of the addresses offered to the bill-to party, you can enter an order-specific address or a contact person with a home or business address.

Change advertisers, payers and bill-to parties

You can change data on the advertiser detail screen for the advertiser selected in the overview.

The system copies any data you change here and determines the remaining data again. The following logical dependencies must be considered here:

If you change a sold-to party, the system also changes dependent business partners, prices and billing datasets for the items.

See also: Modify Sold-to Parties

Note that the Create Advertiser, Insert Advertiser and Delete Advertiser functions are only available to you if the selected item is still modifiable, meaning that billing datasets have not yet been billed.

Edit bank and payment card data

If bank details with collection authorization have been entered for a payer in the master data and the payer customer profile and payment method are suitable, the system offers you these bank details for selection or assigns them to the order.

The following functions on the Advertiser tab page can be used to edit bank and payment card data.
