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.

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:

Fill in the mandatory fields and click Save.
Go to the app launcher search for Ad Price and click New
