Creating Buys from Contract Details

This is a quick look at the process for creating buys based on the contract details sent by the trading partners. See also the printed EDI Guide in PDF available from Client Service.

MediaBank processes new contract data received electronically from a trading partner.

Once the processing is completed, reports are generated and sent to your agency's designated output queue. These reports list:

Contracts that were processed.
Rejected contracts for which the trading partner needs to correct the error (s) and resubmit.
Trading partner codes for which corresponding network system codes must be defined.
Contracts for which revisions exist.
Contracts that cannot be processed because the deal record was not sent.

Note: The "deal record" is everything that is part of the guarantee. Every contract related to the same deal carries the same deal number.

If the Translation Changes Report indicates that there are translation codes that must be defined, use EDI Translation options to specify the corresponding AdVault® Network media, client, network/syndicator, demo, and program codes.
Use Print Contracts to print and review contract details.
Define the estimate and package for the units you will be creating from the contract details. Use Estimate Definition and Package Definition.
