If a profile has been defined in Forced Matching Profile you may force some spots to match. The settings in that option control which matching criteria may be allowed to differ in forcing a spot to match: Date, Time, Length, Network Code and ISCI code. For non-bill/pay type estimates only, differences in the cost and cost qualifier may also be accepted for force matching.
To force a spot to match:
In the Spots Ordered section of the Unsuccessful Match window, select the buy spot to be force matched.
In the Spots Run section of the window, select the affidavit spot you are matching to the selected buy spot.
Click <Update/Force Match> to match the spots.
If the forced match causes the affidavit to successfully match the buy, the Report window displays. See Successful Affidavit Match.
To force match another pair of spots, repeat the steps above.
To return to the Detail Entry window click the Back icon. Force matched spots display with a check in the F column.
To request reports click <Report>. See Requesting Reports in Affidavit Entry.
Note: Forced matching on Network is not necessary unless it is defined as required for matching in Band Code Definition. Forced matching on ISCI is not necessary unless it is defined as Required on the Product Estimate Definition.
