4.11.2 When to use the Optimizer (Use Cases)

We recommend using the Optimizer to track any changes you like to apply to a running Media Campaign, a partially or fully invoiced Media Campaign or a Campaign Item which has been used in finance-relevant processes (such as the Accounting Record Creation Processes). Using the correct Optimizer source will guarantee that your data is valid and consistent, including your financial records.
