Reasons for Inventory Blocking
...
physical reasons, such as overlapping inventory items
political reasons, where certain slots will not sell if others have already been taken.
For example, if you have the option to can sell a page in your periodical as either two half pages or one whole page, selling one or the other to a customer would limit your available offers.
ℹ️ To block inventory, use Use ADvendio's "blocking inventory" objects and related lists to block inventory.
Types of blocking
ADvendio can manage the following blocking types:
...
| Info |
|---|
You can do it only one way using master and dependent records or create two records if they both block each other. |
Blocked booking example:
...
ℹ️ In the "Booked Inventory" section, when you see Contending Items highlighted in red, keep these statuses in mind:
BLOCKED: This means that half of a full page is reserved in the calendar, and it's highlighted in red.BOOKED: This indicates that your Media Campaign has been scheduled, including a reservation for half of a page.
In the booking calendar, not only will your booked product be labelled as "Booked or Offered” (positions are offered at each stage)," but the Blocked product (half page) will also appear as "Booked/ Offered." The details section will provide information about the Contending Campaign, which is the product booking:
Products blocked by the Blocking feature will have a red background in the Contending items
Directly blocked items will have a white background behind the Contending items.
When you check the booking calendar, you will see that not only your booked product is marked as "Booked or Offered," but the Blocked product (which takes up half a page) will also appear as "Booked/ Offered." The details section of the calendar will provide you with information about the Contending Campaign, which refers to product booking.
ℹ️ Products blocked by the Blocking feature will have a red background in the Contending section, while directly blocked items will have a white background behind the Contending items.
...
In our example when two half pages are reserved, they jointly block one full page with a blocking factor of 0.5.
...
Constant Quantity = Quantity (When the constant quantity equals the quantity, they are considered the same.).
Rounding
Always round to the nearest integer using the following guidelines:
Value | round | Value | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Booked | up | 0,000001 | 1 |
Offered | up | 0,000001 | 1 |
Available | down | 0,000001 | 0 |
| Info |
|---|
If the Constant Quantity is either Frequency or Guaranteed AI, the system will not round the value. |
Overbooking
In the booking calendar, only the blocked Ad Spec or AdPrice will be marked as over-booked, and there shouldn't be any negative values carried over to the next level.
Setup
The administrator must add the related lists to the respective object. For example, add Blocked Placements to your Placement Layout.
