backEditLog Reconciliation
This video and related documentation refers to the TrafficXP product.
(Note: The video demonstrates that you need to save the log before commit of the reconcilation; this is no longer necessary.)
Make sure all logs have been reconciled/invoiced through the billing cycle being processed (weekly, broadcast, monthly).
From the dashboard, double click on the log icon to start the log editor. The log will automatically load for the next day, so you'll most likely need to select a different log.
Click on the folder icon.
This will open the select log dialog.
This dialog contains several pieces of information related to finalizing your logs. At this point, you are looking for any logs that are "Locked" for the billing cycle that you are currently processing. Each one of these will need to be reconciled/invoiced (designated by the "Invoiced" status in the list).
For each log that needs to be "Invoiced", open them individually and apply the following processes.
Located on the "File" menu, select the "Begin Reconciliation" to initiate the reconcilation process for the currently loaded log.
If you have automatic reconcilation as an option and it's correctly configured, initiating this process will automatically process the automation system's aired file and reflect as much information as possible on the existing log. All items that can be matched will automatically be checked as aired, other items will be unchecked. Any items that are "questionable" coming from the aired file will be presented a separate dialog allowing you to decided what needs to be done with each of them.
If you do not have automatic reconcilation configured, continue to the next step.
The log will now display the original scheduled time and the aired time columns. Each item also has a check box representing if the items have aired.
- Review each spot, verifying that it aired by checking the "Aired" check box accordingly; optionally modify the "Aired Time" to reflect the actual aired time (to do so, just hover the mouse over the aired time you want to modify and click to enable the in-place editing).
- Add any spots that may have been aired but not originally scheduled (write on spots).
Once you are satisfied with the reconciled log, you can select the "Commit Reconciliation" menu item located in the "File" menu.
This will finalize the reconciliation process for the selected log and place all aired spots on their respective invoices.
Repeat for all logs during the billing cycle being processed before continuing to the actual invoicing process.
