Distribution Unit & Distribution Period

Version 2.92 and up

The Campaign Item has two fields:

• Distribution (Unit)

• Distribution (Period)

Both fields control how the Campaign Item quantity and amount are distributed amongst the related PreInvoices.

You can set the Unit to 

• Quantity instead of 

• Amount

to distribute by quantity instead of amount.

Using the Period picklist, you can control if the system will take either

1. the default distribution based upon the number of days in a month (default), or

2. distributed evenly across months, no matter how long an item is planned in that month

The invoiced quantity has then manually been set to 432906 impressions. Amounts will be calculated to the number of days in the month If you set the

• unit to quantity and

• period to Month

you will get the following result in your revenue schedule:
