6.7.5 Impact of Changes and Cancellations

Here you find a brief explanation of what happens with a Credit when a Media Campaign gets changed or canceled:

Conditions for a Credit Note when a Media Campaign gets changed or canceled:

  1. If your Credit Note Media Campaign has not been fully invoiced but only partially for a certain period (i.e. monthly: January) and you change something in 6.4 Cancellations & Credit Notes or 4.11 Optimizer, then these changes get added to the open Credit Note Item (i.e for February). If there are no open Credit Notes (i.e. you've invoiced all Credit Note Media Campaigns which was expected) then a correction Credit Note Campaign will be created for that Publisher Payout Contract. 

  2. If all Credit Notes for your Publisher Payout are invoiced - any changes will be considered in a new credit note as a correction. You will recognize these campaigns by:

    1. the sequence number which will be written into the field Publisher Payout Correction Sequence in the Credit Note Media Campaign

    2. postfix of the sequence number which will be added to the Media Campaign Name.

These are the conditions for an invoice item to be collected in the Publisher Payout process:

  • The related media campaign is NOT a publisher payout credit note media campaign.

  • The Invoice Item Accounting Date must be later than or equal Publisher Payout Contract Valid From date

  • The Invoice Item Accounting End Date must be earlier than or equal Publisher Payout Contract's Valid Until date

  • The Invoice Item Status should not be 'Canceled' - both canceled invoices and canceled invoice items will not be part of the publisher payout collection

  • The Invoice Status should be 'Invoiced'

  • The Invoice Item is NOT a package header

  • The related Billing Run Created Date is later than or equal to the Publisher Payout Contract Collection Completed Until (minus one day)

To sumarize

  • Canceled invoices or canceled invoice items will NOT be collected.

  • If an invoice item was collected before cancellation, the collection of the invoiced cancelation invoice item will subtract the previously collected amount from the original collected amount.
