Invoices | Horizontal-Vertical Report

This Horizontal/Vertical Report enables you to view whether the Horizontal and Vertical rotation of the units in this activity period followed the traffic rotation instructions sent to the network.
Matched rotator units are shown in a group having the same rotation, start and end times, and are measured for horizontal and vertical rotation.
The report separates information by Client/Media/Network, and uses a format similar to the Discrepancy Report format, listing in this order:  Matched, Ordered Not Run, and Run Not Ordered.

Types of Rotation Checking

Horizontal Checking

  1. Checks for too many rotator units assigned to particular days of the week within one week.  (For example, all Mon-Fri 2p-3p units run on Monday - Wednesday, but none on Thursday or Friday within a week.)

  2. Monitors for too many units assigned to particular days of the week across the entire invoice or for the requested date range.

Vertical Checking

  1. Checks for too many units with the same rotation and start and end times assigned to particular quarter hours of the start/end time range for the same date. (For example, for a Mon-Fri, 2p-3p group, all the invoiced units run between 2p and 2:15p or for a Tues, 8p-9p group all the invoiced units run in the 2nd quarter hour between 8:15pm and 8:30pm.)

  2. Scans for too many units assigned to particular quarter hours of the group start/end time range for the whole invoice or requested report range.

To Request the Report

  1. Fill in required fields: Disbursing Co/Ofc and/or Buying Co/Ofc, and the Month of Activity.

  2. To limit the information requested, you may key any of the Optional Selections fields.

  3. You may make additional changes in the Report Formatting Options fields.

  4. Click <Submit> to generate the report, which can be as wide as a legal sheet of paper. If you generate as a PDF, you may select to shrink page to an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper as you print from PDF.

On the report, the last line of the group displays either an H or V or both beside the group (in the last column on the far right) when there is poor horizontal or vertical rotation. If it is a small group of units you can usually spot the poor rotation visually, but if not, the Horizontal/Vertical Inquiry offers additional helpful views so you can analyze the problems.
