2.74ImprovementFinance

Cross-period invoices and cancellations possible
Adjustments to existing and, if applicable, even already invoiced campaigns always involve a
large amount of manual work for the advertiser and the publisher: Campaigns have to be
adjusted, cancellation invoices calculated and created and sent to the customer, and new
invoices have to be generated.

ADvendio is reducing this workload to a minimum as cancellations and new bookings can
now be created across periods. For your customers this means: fewer documents, faster
campaign optimizations. For you: more time for sales-related tasks.

Please visit our Wiki for more details: 6.4.1 Cancellation Wizard (to be deprecated with November 24 release)
