Requirements for Matching
In order for you to match units to network invoices, you need to create matching profiles by media, media/vendor, and media/client which establish invoice entry and matching requirements for Enter/Match Invoices (250), and Manually Match Invoices (251). These requirements control the fields a user must key when entering line item detail for an invoice, the elements (length, time, date, etc.) of a line item, and that multiple products on an ordered unit must be in the same order on the buy as you key them in the product fields on the matching for the system to complete a match.
At the media/client level, an additional setting is available that controls whether units are assigned a commercial date and commercial time from the vendor invoice when the units are matched. This feature prevents users from having to enter the date and time manually in order to post actual audience figures for units.
Media/Client Matching Profile
To establish a Media/Client Matching Profile, key the Media and Client fields on the Prompt Screen and press <Enter>.
On the Media/Client Detail Screen, accept the Media Profile defaults for the Entry Requirement, Matching Requirement, and Allow Partial Clearing? fields or key the codes for this client.
Key the entry and matching requirements for ISCI Codes. If you want the system to compare ISCI rotations defined in ISCI Rotation Definition (302), to the actual rotations from invoice detail when invoice matching occurs, the entry requirement setting must be O (optional) or R (required), and the matching requirement must be R (rotation).
In the Update Buy with Date & Time field, indicate (Y/N) whether the commercial date and commercial time for a unit should be updated when the unit is matched. If you indicate Y and the Buying Profile use H to post by half hour time periods, units will also be posted.
