Buying Order

Buying Orders in ADvendio are used to configure your Insertion Orders for Xandr Invest.
With version 2.170 Xandr orders support two different Budget Types:

  • Impression Budget

  • Revenue Budget

The values are selectable from the dropdown menu that appears when creating a new Buying Order, as shown in the image below:

Once a Budget Type is selected, it won’t be editable anymore

 

Important to note

If the picklist menu doesn’t automatically show “Impressions Budget”, the field should be:

  • firstly added to the Buying Order Budget Type picklist value list

  • then also added to the Xandr Record types picklist values

You can create as many items as you like for your Buying Order.
