Add and edit broadcast order lines in Neural Log

Create order lines, set station rates, enter daily quantities and assign copy for broadcast orders.

An order line defines what airs, when, on which stations and at what cost. Open order lines from the Schedule tab of a saved broadcast order.

Before you start#

  • You need a role with read/write access to AdvertisingOrderLine and its related members.
  • Adding lines requires a saved parent order with at least one station.
  • Editing station rates requires write access to OrderLineStationRate.

Add an order line#

1

Open the line editor#

In the order’s Schedule tab, choose Add Order Line. If a line is highlighted, the new line copies its current dates, times, quantities, type, length, copy and position as defaults.

2

Set dates and runs#

  • Date Range: enter Start Date and End Date.
    • Runs: choose a run policy. For daily quantities, use All Weeks / Daily and enter the seven weekday values. For weekly quantities and run-week patterns, see Weekly scheduling.
3

Enter daily quantities#

For Monday through Sunday, enter the number of spots. A blank or zero requests zero spots. The Per Week total is derived from the daily values.

4

Set time range and class#

Enter From and To times, and optionally choose a Time Class.

5

Enter line details#

  • Length / Type: duration and log type (for example, CA, MAC).
    • Description / Note: free text for the schedule and reports.
    • Avail Type: match eligible template breaks.
    • Position: UnRestricted, First in Break, Last in Break, First OR Last, or Book-Ends. Selecting Book-Ends automatically changes the Type to MAC with a notification.
    • Preemption Level: 0 (Non-Preemptible) through 9 (Very Preemptible).
6

Assign copy#

Use CopyID to be Played to choose an existing copy, or Change to open the copy picker and create/select a different copy. For MAC lines, copy is assigned on individual macro items instead.

7

Set station rates#

In the station/cost grid on the right, enter a Cost Per Broadcast for each selected station. The rate is stored as a separate OrderLineStationRate record with a decimal(19,4) amount. Zero is valid. Missing rates show as Unresolved in demand previews and reports.

8

Save#

Choose Save to commit the line. The order header validates that line dates fit within the order bounds. Cancel discards the draft.

Commercial calculation (preview)#

The Calculate Amounts action opens a saved-data preview of the order’s commercial terms using explicitly resolved current inputs:

  • Discounts Allowed: percentage of gross or fixed amount.
  • Apply Trade Credit: percentage of net or fixed amount.
  • Agency commission: percentage of discounted gross.
  • Account Rep and National Rep commissions: percentages of net.

This preview is unrounded and read-only. It does not post, issue or save invoice snapshots.

Delete an order line#

Select a line and choose Delete Order Line. Deletion is refused if the line has active broadcast events, charge history or macro item references. A confirmation appears for unused lines; the operation cleans up owned child records and preserves history.

Copy assignment and history#

Use Change next to the assigned copy to open the picker. You can:

  • Select Copy: use an existing normal/rotator/packet/schedule copy owned by the customer or shared.
  • New / Create: create a new catalog copy from the picker and return it to the line.
  • Edit Copy: open the copy in a detail popup.

Copy assignment is a configuration draft until the order line is saved. Changing copy does not alter historical snapshots, events or charges.
