6.5.3.3 Accounting Record Creation with change of matching Criteria

As is usual in business, it can happen that after the creation of a Media Campaign, or even after starting invoicing, some key aspects of the Campaign or Campaign Items need to be adjusted. It can also happen, that these changes may overlap with matching criteria for Accounting Rules.

In order to accommodate changes in matching criteria (for Business Type, Intermediary, Media Type, Media Differentiation and Media Segment), please ensure that your administrator has 7.6.8.3 enabled new matching for Accounting Interface.

This only covers changes in matching criteria for Collection, Distribution and Deferral Accounting Records, for Accrual Records, please see the example below.
