Create a Buying Campaign Item

A Buying Campaign Item is a specific type of Campaign Item created for the Media Buying solution.
It can be imagined as a placeholder for Buying Orders, as it allows their creation in a dedicated related list.

Info

A Buying Campaign Item differs from a standard Campaign Item in two key ways: it uses an Ad Spec with a "Buying" record type rather than the standard type, and it has an Ad Price with the Billing Category set to "Budget."


To create a Buying Campaign Item we suggest the easiest steps:

  • Access the Ad Specs through the app launcher

  • Create a new Ad Spec and select Buying as the record type, as shown in the image below

  • Go to the app launcher search for Ad Price and click New

  • Link the Ad Spec, fill in the List Price, and make sure to select the Billing Category as "Budget” as shown in the image below.
