4.16.5 Monitor Commitments

Unit Count (Revenue Information)



Scheduled Apex Job

Please note that the revenue and unit count data is not shown immediately in the commitment conditions. An apex job has to be scheduled for the calculation and typically is running once a day. For further information ask your system administrator or read chapter 7.2.9 Setup Commitments.

Once you have created media campaigns which match the Commitment and Commitment Conditions ADvendio will calculate the actual revenue or unit count data for you. Do not manually edit these fields!  Package headers will be ignored as the package components will be counted towards the conditions. Read more about the handling of packages here: 4.16.6 Packages in Commitments (version 2.96.3 and higher).

Total Revenue vs. Total Revenue applied

Here an example to explain what the "applied" field is for: If you set up a revenue goal 10.000 € and 20% discount then each matching campaign items would be counted towards the total revenue. But the total revenue applied will still be 0 € until you have reached your 10.000 € revenue goal. After you have passed the total revenue goal >10.000 €, the revenue of that matching item will be counted in total revenue applied.

Total Unit count vs. Total Unit count applied

Here an example to explain the different unit fields: If you set up a rebate in kind condition to give out 1 page for free when 3 have been bought all matching campaign items of sold pages would be counted towards the Total unit count. If the customer has bought 7 pages and already gotten one page for free the results would show the following:

  • Total Unit count = 7

  • Total Rebate in Kind units earned = 2

  • Total Unit count applied = 1

  • Rebate in Kind units available = 1 (Total Rebate in Kind units earned - Total Unit count applied)

Degree of Fulfillment

Starting with Version 2.87 we have added a field "Degree of Fulfillment" to the Commitment Condition. This you can add to your List views and reports to manage and monitor your commitments. 

You will have this formula in every record and it is calculated the percentage. The maximum value is 100% which means if you overfulfill it will still be 100%.

  • For "ScaledDiscount":

    • Total Revenue divided by the amount you have entered in the Scaled Discount To field

  • For "RebateInKind" and "RebateInKindPercent":

    • Total Unit Count divided by the number of units you have entered in Base Quantity Rebate In Kind field

  • For "Third Party Commission":

    • Total Revenue divided by the amount you have entered in the Revenue Goal field.

  • For "SpecialDiscount" , "Agency Earning"

  •  

    • it will always be ZERO.



Warning

If you are using hierachical scaled discounts 4.16.7 Commitment Matching Criteria Hierarchy or packages where campaign items match two or more commitment conditions the total revenue will be calculated towards both commitment conditions. The same issue occurs if you have two similar conditions where one has made the package header matching relevant whereas the other doesn't. Both can then count towards your revenue count. 

We recommend to avoid any of these "overlaps" when creating commitment.
