Media plans, approvals & insertion orders
Plan flights in Project Media, submit a revision for approval, and generate linked buying orders.
Use Projects → open a project → Media for the buying workflow. Its five views are Media Plan, Insertion Orders, Deployments, Proof, and Results. Media Intelligence is the cross-project reporting workspace; use the link beside these views to open it.
Prepare and approve the buy
1
Build the working plan
In Media Plan, define flights with channels, placements, dates, budgets, currency, buying rates, objectives, and creative assignments. Save the plan before requesting approval.
2
Submit for approval
Use Submit for approval in Plan governance. An Owner or Admin reviews the submitted revision and approves or rejects it. Working budgets alone are not evidence of approval.
3
Generate insertion orders
Open Insertion Orders and choose Generate from Media Plan after the plan is Approved. Review the generated draft orders, their vendor assignment, flight-linked lines, dates, and financials before approval.
4
Prepare for deployment
The selected flight must be approved and contain the creative assignment. The insertion order must be Approved or Live and include a matching line before it can be selected for deployment.
Changes after approval
Use Start change order and give a reason when an approved plan needs revision. Review the new working plan and submit it for approval again. Check existing insertion orders and deployments separately; do not assume previously booked media has been amended with the publisher.
Note. Editing and approval actions depend on workspace permissions and billing access. If a control is unavailable, ask your workspace administrator to check access and the current plan status.
Heads up. Generating or approving an insertion order records the buying workflow in Mediasphere; it does not itself purchase inventory or confirm that a publisher has accepted the booking.
