Buyer: My production/install billing line items are rolling up with my media line items. What do I do?

The "Inventory Summary" or contract rollup section of a contract displays a more condensed version of the inventory information to provide users with a top-line view of what is being purchased. The rollup is created by initially grouping together rows that have the same Inventory Number, Location Description, Market, Format, and Cost Type. The billing rows are then further condensed by grouping consecutive rows. Rows are sorted by start date, and "consecutive" is defined as having an end date on one row and a start date on the next row within two days of each other. These consecutive groups are displayed in the Inventory Summary rollup.



If the production/install billing line items in the Billing Addendum section on a contract have the same Inventory Number, Format Code, Market, and Description as the other media line items, and are listed consecutively (e.g., one runs from 11/1 to 11/30, and the second from 12/1 to 12/31), the system will roll them up together into one inventory line item.



Add Note in Description:

Adding a note into the Description of a production/install billing line item (e.g., 'Corner Wrap - Install') will ensure that the billing line items roll up the way they should, keeping production/install lines separate from media line items in the Inventory Information section on a contract.
