Bill Commission Only |
Allows an agency to bill the client for the revenue that they will make on a buy. The commission only billing setting implies that the client will pay the stations themselves. As such, buys that are commission only cannot clear or pay station invoices. However, billing for Commission Only buys will work exactly the same as billing does for standard buys. |
