Insertion Order Inquiry

This inquiry, on all four media inquiry menus enables you to track the details for all trafficked buys, then click a button to view the billing and paying status of trafficked buys.

Note: If using this option in Media Accounting, information is collected from all three buying systems, (Print, Interactive, and Out-of-Home). Otherwise, information is collected for only the buying system in which you are working.

You may also use this inquiry to reprint a Latest Revision Insertion Order without having  to launch the Buy Module and set the Order Flags.

To begin on the Prompt Window:

The reprint function reprints insertion orders and contracts based on criteria used when buys were last trafficked.

Instead, your insertion orders or contracts will be automatically generated from criteria used when buys were trafficked. If reprinting insertion orders or contracts that were trafficked prior to this release, you will receive the following error message “Reprint Details Not Available From This Option. Please Traffic Using Order Flag= Latest Revision”. Please traffic these buys as directed to collect details required for reprinting.

Note: Neither positioning comments nor comments entered on the Estimate or Buy (including location description comments) print on this version of the Insertion Order.
