In order to apply the commitment conditions to your campaigns you have to fill the Commitment fields on the media campaign:
It is not mandatory to use all three commitments types in one media campaign. The following example works the same for all three commitment types.
Option 1: Only one Commitment
If you have only one matching commitment for your Media Campaign the Commitment will automatically be linked (Version 2.91 and up) when you create the campaign. If this Campaign is an exception, you can remove the lookup manually, otherwise you don't have to do anything.
Automated Mapping
Here is how it works: The system then looks up all active Commitments.
First it is matching the record types
- Advertiser / Agency Discount or no record type will be mapped to the "standard" commitment field.
- Agency Earnings Commitments will be mapped to the AE commitment field.
- Third Party Commission Commitments are mapped to the TPC commitment field.
If an advertiser is set - the same account must be linked in the Media Campaign. This is working in the same manner for agencies. If the Media Campaign has a different advertiser or different agency as the Commitment - nothing happens.
- ADvendio only connects commitments automatically if only one Commitment matching
- If there are multiple matching Commitments available for a Media Campaign none will be selected
- An empty advertiser, agency or advertiser/agency relation in your Commitments will result in matching this to all Media Campaigns no matter if that field is filled or not.
Make sure to not have "empty" active (test) commitments in your system, which have no advertiser or agency and then will match ALL media campaigns!
Example to explain the Matching Logic:
Commitment A:
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = empty
Commitment B
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = Agency A
Media Campaign Example 1:
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = empty or Agency B
Matching Commitment: Commitment A
Result= Commitment A will be connected automatically
Media Campaign Example 2:
Advertiser = Advertiser A
Agency = Agency A
Matching Commitment: Commitment A & Commitment B, as we have multiple matching results no Commitment will be connected automatically. Please use the Commitment Selector
Using 4.16.4 Participating Accounts weakens this rule. As soon as you enter a Participating Account as advertiser or agency the system is trying to also match those to a Media Campaign which otherwise would not fit.
Option 2: Multiple possible Commitments
2.1 Commitment Selector Component
If you are using Lighting Layout and your administrator has enabled the Commitment Selector Component (Version 2.94 and up), you can easily pick the correct Commitment right from your Media Campaign page layout: Select the correct commitment and click on the Save button.
2.2 Commitment Selector Button
You can assign Commitments manually or alternatively use the Commitment Selector Button for your "standard" commitment field, which will filter for only valid and matching Commitments (Version 2.92 and up). Open your Media Campaign and click on the Commitment Selector button. This button has to be enabled by your administrator.
The next window will offer you a list of Commitments. Pick the correct and hit Save.
