2.120ImprovementCommercial OptimizerThe optimizer is a powerful ADvendio feature to modify and change your running media campaign line items according to your and your customers' needs. When carrying out an Order Amendment for invoiced items, your invoices are automatically cancelled and new pre-invoices created for your new items, ensuring complete accuracy for your financial records and statements.

In the latest version of ADvendio, you can now also have this certainty even when at the pre-invoice stage of your Campaign. Through use of a Salesforce Standard process, users can further customise other workflows to be triggered in addition to automatically updating/creating your pre-invoices.
