Pay-to Vendor Validations

Note: The system validates Pay-to Vendors linked to Media Vendors during Media Order creation. Validation is based on: 

 

 

 Vendor status 

 

 

 Effective start and end dates relative to the plan duration 

 

 

 

  Multiple Pay-to Vendors Linked to a Media Vendor 

 Scenario 1 

 

 

 3 Pay-to Vendors linked: 

 

 

 1 in Created status → Invalid 

 

 

 1 in Open status → Valid 

 

 

 1 with an end date outside the plan duration → Invalid 

 

 

 

 

 Result: 

 

 

 Only one valid Pay-to Vendor exists. 

 

 

 No selection popup appears. 

 

 

 The Media Order is created automatically using the valid Pay-to Vendor. 

 

 

 Scenario 2 

 

 

 4 Pay-to Vendors linked: 

 

 

 1 in Created status → Invalid 

 

 

 2 in Open status → Valid

 Result: 

 

 

 A Select Pay-to Vendor popup appears. 

 

 

 All Pay-to Vendors are displayed with status and date information. 

 

 

 Only valid Pay-to Vendors can be selected. 

 

 

 Scenario 3 

 

 

 All Pay-to Vendors are invalid. 

 

 

 Result: 

 

 

 An error message is displayed. 

 

 

 The Media Order cannot be created. 

 

 

 Single Pay-to Vendor Linked to a Media Vendor 

 If only one Pay-to Vendor exists: 

 

 

 Created status → Invalid (error displayed) 

 

 

 Open status → Valid (Media Order is created) 

 

 

 End date outside plan duration → Invalid (error displayed)

 Media Order creation is permitted.
