If you have only one matching commitment for your Media Campaign the Commitment will automatically be linked (Version 2.91 and up) when you create the campaign. If this Campaign is an exception, you can remove the lookup manually, otherwise you don't have to do anything.

Automated Mapping

Here is how it works: The system then looks up all active Commitments.

First it is matching the record types

• Advertiser / Agency Discount or no record type will be mapped to the "standard" commitment field.
• Agency Earnings Commitments will be mapped to the AE commitment field.
• Third Party Commission Commitments are mapped to the TPC commitment field.

 If an advertiser is set - the same account must be linked in the Media Campaign. This is working in the same manner for agencies. If the Media Campaign has a different advertiser or different agency as the Commitment - nothing happens. 

• ADvendio only connects commitments automatically if only one Commitment matching
• If there are multiple matching Commitments available for a Media Campaign none will be selected
• An empty advertiser, agency or advertiser/agency relation in your Commitments will result in matching this to all Media Campaigns no matter if that field is filled or not.

Furthermore the Legal Entity value will be taken into account for matching (version 2.108 and up). This means that if there is a Legal Entity set in the Media Campaign the process will look for matching Commitments where this Legal Entity is set.
Commitments without a Legal Entity set will be offered as well. Only Commitments with another Legal Entity set will be excluded.

Example to explain the Matching Logic:

Commitment A:
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = empty

...

Media Campaign Example 2:
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = Agency A
Matching Commitment: Commitment A & Commitment B, as we have multiple matching results no Commitment will be connected automatically. Please use the Commitment Selector

Using 4.16.4 Participating Accounts weakens this rule. As soon as you enter a Participating Account as advertiser or agency the system is trying to also match those to a Media Campaign which otherwise would not fit.

Option 2: Multiple possible Commitments

If your chosen commitment does not match the criteria anymore when opening the commitment selector you will see a message like this:
