TV and radio media orders are imported directly into your Clients & Profits database as broadcast orders.

Print media orders are imported into Clients & Profits X as insertion orders.

Vendor media invoices are imported into Clients & Profits X as unposted A/P invoices.

Media buys can be manually imported, one-by-one, or automatically imported at selected intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes).

The Media Link imports run dates from selected media buying systems.

The Media Link is designed to handle high-volume media departments. It can effectively import hundreds of media buys each day.

It can be run on either a Macintosh or Windows-based computer.

The Media Link checks each order for a valid client, vendor, job number, and job task. It checks each invoice for a valid vendor and order number.

Imported orders can be billed just like other orders you’ve entered manually. A user defined option allows you to bill the net cost or using a custom client commission rate other than the standard 15%.

A detailed log keeps track of every imported order and invoice, indicating which ones had errors. Orders and invoices with errors are not imported until they are fixed.

Imported media buys appear on insertion and broadcast order reports, job reports, and WIP reports—anywhere media orders are normally found.

An e-mail notification can be automatically sent each time a new order or invoice is imported.
