| With Version 2.88 we did some important changes to the Discount and Agency Earnings logic within Packages. The goal is to provide you even more freedom with the package calculation and help to create better cross-media packages within ADvendio. |
Set Discounts now individually for each Package Component
Previously Discounts needed to be set at the Package Header and then applied to the whole package. With the exception of individual packages, this made it difficult to create Cross Media Packages, where Discounts are only applicable to some parts of the package, but not all. In ADvendio Summer 2017 (2.88) you can now define all discounts, agency earnings and third party commission individually for each package component or the package as whole. This logic applies to all distribution types of packages (linear, prorated, individual).

If you have custom workflows or triggers which automatically set discounts for Packages, please test excessively. You might need to enhance your logic to set the discounts for all Package Components instead of the Package Header. Direct changes of Discount fields at the Package Header (without the Media Configuration or Net Calculator) will be reverted. |
New Agency Earnings Field
To offer this possibility also for Agency Earnings, we needed to enhance our data model. Additionally to the existing picklist Agency Commission % we added a new Agency Earnings field as a percentage field. This has two advantages: 1.) it offers the flexibility to set the AE separately for each package component and 2.) it makes it easier to use the Agency Earnings in custom calculations or formulas, because now you don't have to transfer picklist values to number values.

To define a default Agency Earning for the new field, we added a new Admin Setting, where you can set a new default.
