Perform Settlement By Sub Ad Specs

Use

This function is used to perform settlement for ad and online items separately by sub ad specs.

Integration

It is part of document processing.

If you have selected the corresponding indicators in Customizing, the system takes account of sub ad specs that have been assigned to ad or online items as additional settlement factors when it generates the billing datasets.

In a standard scenario, the system considers advertisers, publication dates or periods and booking units that have been assigned to the document item as settlement factors when it generates the billing datasets.

Prerequisites

Settlement is to be performed for ad or online items using the sub ad specs that have been assigned.

An example of this is performing settlement for a multi-page ad by the sub ad specs that it contains.

You have selected the Separate settlement by sub ad specs indicator when you defined the relationships between ad specs and sub ad specs in Customizing.
