Hi Uday,

See IS Media is for industry solution designed by SAP for Publishing,Entertainment and broad cast industry.

SAP has introduced as Business Function Set. So the business functions set will have lot of business functions.

We need to activate the same.

Media Advertising management

Media Sales and Distribution is again splitted as Media Publisng /Series Sales and periodical Sales

Media Advertising management concentrates on the Space available in the newspaper.

So in SAP Easy Access Menu u need to check it in logistics.There you will find Media Sales and Distribution.

Hi,

In IS-Media Business Function set ,Advertising Managment and Advertising Management 2 are business functions.

In ECC6.0 EHP4 we SAP has brought with lot of functionalities.

Advertisement deals with selling the space in publising indudtry, Selling the space between program for on-Air and video broadcasting.

For Advertising Management we will have a Third Party Software supporting for Planning the Ads,The common Third party Softwares are VIVA Editor of Luftansa and PPI of MAN.

PPI is a software for planning the ads in advance for customer and finally releasing it.

In Advertising Managment we create Business Partner using tcode BP. U can use the Role ISM0020 and Advertisement Account Group.

ISM0020 Role is a business object which will help you to control ur screens in BP.Account group controls the FI as well as number range of the object.

SAP provides u to create Booking Unit which is the master object. the booking UNit iis created in JJb1.

u can define ur own content componentsie business content components and technical content component.

Business content component are defined as per business process and technical content component for the technical system(third party software)

After creating the booking Unit you need to generate production units for the Booking Unit in transaction code JJP4.

You link the content components and technical content components in the Booking Unit Master.

So you need to generate production units for booking content also and that you will be doing in JJp2.

After doing the pre-requisites for master data u will be able to proceed with MAM order processing using the tcode JHa1N

here you will proceed with Business partner ,Sales Area and Sales office.

In the MAM order you have Header,Item Data.

The Screen of MAM order has three more screens that is Schedule line,Adspec,Billing Data set.

The integration of MAM order with technical system is done via Adspec tab. Here you will have the data following from MAM order to technical system and reverting the status back to MAM order.

If everything is fine then system will be updated with status "50" at Adpsec tab level which denotes the Ad has been placed and Customer material information has been linked. "technically complete"

Once published the Scheduline Status will be updated with Status 60.

If you need to raise invoice then these condition are to be met.

Once technical system reverts status and updates correctly then the Billing Data set will be updating with a status 99-ready for billing.

Individual billing happens via tcode JHf1.

For collective billing JHF7.

if there is any error while communicating with technical system then you will get the error information in JHAE.

Business partners you will be having Advertising customer.oNe time customer etc.

Advertising Agency are created as organization and individual customers as person.You can even maintain a person as advertiser also.you can control business partner using Sales Area.

You can define Brands for customer.

The condition records are maintained in JJk1 and u can view condition list from J/h8.

hope this has given u a brief idea of Advertisng Management.

the Order processing screen is the heart of Advertsing Management.

Item data means Item Ad Type +Item Category.Once u enter the screen will have the relevant fields to be entered.

the important fields are Booking Unitcontent componenttechnical content component +publishing data.

After that you will have the data for Adspec like Design type,Color,Size:planned heightXplanned width.

Advertiser data,text data,brand,Category,box number.product heirarchy,

Even you can process Agency commission and Settlement also.The details you can find in the Advertiser tab at Item level.

Even you have provision to enter manual conditions @item level and Header level.

Quantity planning: JKSD03 , JKSD07

Insert planning u2013 JVSD12, Mix JVSD04 (if you have the insert planning) otherwise product kit for adding the supplements to the main sheet. Once you do the insert planning (customer group wise) the supplements will be insertted with the main sheet. You can create different mixes (combinations of main sheet and supplements) and assign the same to the contracts of the retailer as per the business requirement. These supplements will be exploded in the sales order as a bill of material.

Like wise if you have the Ad inserts, you can create Ad inserts as a material and create orders in MAM. For distributing this you can create geographical units and assging this in the BP master of retailer/servicing personnel with an assignment type. These geo units can be assigned to the booking unit. Once you create the ad inserts by using this booking unit you can link these inserts with the retailers contracts. Then these ad inserts also will appear in the sales order of the retailer/servicing personnel in MPS.

Order generation u2013 JKSDORDER01.

Delivery - VL10C, POST GOODS ISSUE, Billing - VF04 or VF06.

For shippping, if you have the geographical structure configured in MSD, you can transfer the MPS data to MSD by setting up o the logistic interface settings and create shipping orders. For setting up of geographical structure, postal data is a pre requisit. Then you can set up the hierachy in geographical structure. This will enable you to assign the carrier route to the geo unit and service company to the carrier route. If you set up this, system will automatically determine the service company while creating the subscription order. Then you can user the truck route, loading point, unloadng point etc. for physical delivery.

If this functionality is not activated, you can transfer the MSD data to SD and use the standard shipping functionality in logistic.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Suresh
