6.3.3.1 Optional Invoice Information (Campaign Item)

Campaign Item Billing Offset

Version 

2.116.1 and up

 

With ADvendio version 2.116.1, you now have the option to configure the Payment Start for individual Campaign Items billed on a monthly basis. Generally speaking, the Payment Start is set at Media Campaign level and applies to all Campaign Items within that Media Campaign, unless you have a Flexible Payment Plan set up.

This feature allows you to offset the billing of a particular item, or items, regardless of the Media Campaign Invoice information. This can be used where, for example, certain Campaign Items need to be paid for in advance of their runtime while the rest of the Campaign Items are only available to be invoiced after their delivery.

For example, if your Media Campaign has the following configuration, and two Campaign Items (June - July runtime, linear distribution), then you should expect two invoices (1. July and 1. August) for this configuration:

However, if you wanted one of these items to be invoiced before/during the Billing Period, then you can overwrite the Media Campaign settings on Campaign Item Level using the Payment Start field. The result would then be:

  • 1. June Invoice - 1-month linear distribution for Campaign Item set to payment before/during

  • 1. July Invoice - 1-month linear distribution for Campaign Item set to payment before/during & 1-month linear distribution for Campaign Item using Media Campaign setting for After

  • 1. August Invoice - 1-month linear distribution for Campaign Item using Media Campaign setting for After

    Note: the field Payment Start needs to be added to your Campaign Item layout by your Administrator in order to be used. 

Additional information:

  • Only possible for Media Campaigns with monthly billing interval

  • This can be done in any combination of settings, for example, Payment Start after on Media Campaign and Payment Start before on Campaign Item or as set out in the example above

  • If both Payments Start on Campaign Item and 6.6 Flexible Payment Plan are filled, the Flexible Payment Plan conditions are applied.
