Ordered Amount on Line Items
Release Date
Internally May 8, 2025
Table of Contents
Overview
What
We will now store the original ordered amount on a line item, so users can track the difference between goal amount and ordered amount
Who
Internal users during the reconciliation process, and external users looking to know the original ordered amount
Why
Many partners bill their advertisers on the ordered amount, which will help us store this information. Additionally, for reconciliation purposes, we will now understand the difference between the amounts ordered and delivered.
Example
A user ordered a display line item with 1,000 impressions. We only deliver 900 impressions. In today's workflow, we would override that 1,000 impressions with 900 and no longer have a record of the original ordered amount being 1,000 impressions.
Walkthrough
After an order is created, the ordered amount field will show for all products
For every goal amount, there will be an ordered amount
It will auto populate with the same amount as the goals when it is created
During reconciliation, the original goal amounts should be updated
This is still the source of truth for tableau and billing
The only time the ordered amount should be updated is if any changes are made to what the partner originally ordered. For example:
The user purchased more (i.e. updates what they ordered)
Cancelations
Rewnewals / extensions
All changes will show in the history log when a change happens to an ordered amount
Rows are added
Rows are removed
Fields are updated
Users now have the ability to “insert” a row of allocations, and no longer be dependent on the + add allocation button
this will copy over the dates from the previous row
Users will still need to update the goal type or dates
You cannot save a row with overlapping dates with the same goal type.
Not Included
Any changes to tableu or billing workflows (for now)
