Track delivery and Post-Buy

From a confirmed Order to a Post-Buy report

Once you confirm a buyer's RFP-backed Order, that RFP Exchange gains a Post-Buy stage in its workspace, alongside Request, Avails, and Orders. Post-Buy is where you record what a flight actually delivered against what the Order confirmed, and where you submit that record to the buyer.

Post-Buy stays empty until an Order on that Exchange is confirmed. There is nothing to report against a draft or a still-pending Order.

Post-Buy is currently available only for Orders created from an RFP Avail Response. Orders created from a supplier Deal do not have a Post-Buy workspace.

Enter actuals against the confirmed schedule

Open Post-Buy and you will see every confirmed order line and week, with the confirmed spot count and confirmed cost already shown for reference. Next to each one, enter:

• Actual spots
• Actual primary-demo impressions
• Actual cost

You can save this as a private draft at any point, even before the flight ends, and return to finish it later. From the active RFP Exchange chat, attach a post-log or delivery file and ask the supplier Tap Agent to stage the private Post-Buy draft. Review every extracted value in Post-Buy before saving or submitting. The Tap Agent cannot submit the report.

Submit when the flight is done

Submitting a Post-Buy report becomes available once the flight's exact market-local end date has passed. Before that, you can keep saving the private draft, but submission is not offered yet.

Once every line has an actual spot count, actual impressions, and an actual cost, choose Review & submit. The confirmation shows the totals the buyer is about to see: actual spots, actual impressions, and actual cost, added up across the whole report. Submitting is final. The report becomes read-only, and the buyer can now see it.

Only a person with Confirm Orders on that station can save or submit a Post-Buy report, the same authority that let them confirm the Order in the first place.

What the buyer sees after you submit

The buyer sees campaign-level totals for actual spots, actual impressions, actual cost, and primary-goal delivery. The summary also has one entry per property showing the flight, confirmed spots, actual spots, and overall goal delivery. Your line-and-week draft records and source file remain supplier-only.

Why accurate reporting matters

The Post-Buy report is the buyer's record of what actually ran against what they ordered. A gap between the confirmed schedule and the actual numbers (fewer spots than the Order called for, impressions well under goal) is exactly what a buyer needs to see, not something to smooth over before submitting. Reporting promptly and accurately after the flight keeps the relationship straightforward heading into the next RFP.
