Contract Definition in Print and Interactive

Use this option to define contracts in Traditional Print, Out-of-Home and Interactive.

Contracts are not required unless the Media profile (in Media Accounting | Admin | Profiles Definition) requires a contract. However, they can be used for all Print and Interactive buying to retrieve rates into buys and to track performance against the contract.

Defining the Contract

1. Select Contracts | Contract Definition.

Contract Definition Prompt

2. Key the Vendor only if this is a vendor contract at the agency level.

3. Key Vendor and Client if this is for the client and vendor.

4. To limit the entire contract to a specific edition and/or zone, key the optional Edition and/or Zone. When retrieving an existing contract, only key the Edition and/or Zone if they were keyed on this window when the contract was initially defined.

5. Contract field: Leave blank for a new contract.

Existing contract: key the Contract number.

Other Contract Activities

• You may copy an existing contract to a different vendor/client, see Contract Definition Copy.

• Once contracts are defined, use Contract Listing to print a list of contracts.

• Use Contract Analysis Report to print a report showing the contract level and contribution made by every space-rate category on a contract.

• If you update the contract rate line on an existing contract, use Automatic Rate Change to change the insertion rates for existing buys.
