When an advertising order is activated, the system must evaluate the invoice rule to determine whether the order line should be invoiced. The following is a list of available options: Available Date - Used when the advertising media of the advertising product is linked to an inventory (INV) product. The order line is invoiced if the order line is activated on or after the Product.AVAILABLE_DATE of the product linked to the advertising media. Otherwise, the order line is invoiced by ADV620, or the user can manually invoice the order line by setting fulfill status to ‘A’. Custom - Used when the date the insertion orders linked to the advertising media should be invoiced is a specific date. This invoice rule is typically used with standalone advertising products, such as a directory. Order lines with “CUSTOM” invoice rule are invoiced by ADV620 on or after the date defined in AVAILABLE_TO_INVOICE_DATE for the advertising media. Fulfill Date - Used when the advertising media of the advertising product is linked to a subscription (SUB) product. The order line is invoiced if the order line is activated on or after the Sub_Issue.FULFILL_DATE of the subscription issue in the order line. Otherwise, the order line is invoiced by ADV620, or the user can manually invoice the order line by setting fulfill status to ‘A’. Mtg Start Date - Used when the advertising media of the advertising product is linked to a meeting (MTG) product. Examples include an organization’s annual conference or webinars defined as meetings to facilitate registration. The order line is invoiced if the order line is activated on or after the Mtg_Product.START_DATE of the meeting linked to the advertising media. Otherwise, the order line is invoiced by ADV620, or the user can manually invoice the order line by setting fulfill status to ‘A’. Order Date - Used when the organization wants the order line invoiced upon order activation date. Advertising order lines are typically created as active order lines, so typically the order activation date is the same as the order date. For organizations that define the default advertising order line status code to be ‘P’ (proforma), the order activation date will probably not be the same as the order date. If advertising order lines are created as proforma, they must be manually activated. Term Start Date - Used when advertising will run for a period of time, such as web ads, banners on buildings, billboards, ads on kiosks, etc. The order line is invoiced if the order line is activated on or after the Order_Detail.CYCLE_BEGIN_DATE of the advertising order line.

The order line is invoiced if the order line is activated on or after the Xbt_Product.START_DATE of the exhibition linked to the advertising media. Otherwise, the order line is invoiced by ADV620, or the user can manually invoice the order line by setting fulfill status to ‘A’.
