The NETWORK Browser EDI Menu enables you to create buys and invoices in AdWare® NETWORK from data transmitted by a trading partner. AdVault retrieves the contract and invoice data for your agency electronically and AdVault formats the data so that you may transfer all or selected detail rows to NETWORK.
Before buys or invoices can be created in NETWORK from the data electronically transmitted by a trading partner, the data must be "translated" (converted) to codes that are currently used in NETWORK. Each time AdVault processes new contract or invoice data for your agency, NETWORK adds any codes not processed before to the Translation Tables.
The Translation Changes Report, which is generated and sent to your agency's designated output queue, identifies these new codes that must be defined. These are the tasks to be performed:
Specify the NETWORK codes that correspond to the media, client, net/syn, demo, program, product, and rep codes used by a trading partner. These menu options are referred to as Translation Tables.
If you note a discrepancy, in the contract or invoice, notify the trading partner to correct the problem and request that they retransmit the contract or invoice.
If you a discrepancy in the deal records, for which contracts were not processed, you may not delete these records.
Once you specify the NETWORK codes that correspond to the codes used by the trading partner, the system:
Updates the contract data so that you may create buys based on the contract data.
Updates the invoice data so that you may create invoices and match them based on this data.
You use these options in completion of your tasks, but not necessarily in alphabetical order as displayed here. See also Creating Buys from Contract Details.
