Reserve and order bookings

Prev Next

Once you've created your booking, it's registered.

  • After registering, reserve and order your booking to ensure that airtime is reserved for it.

  • In this booking state, you can create a business proposal for your client and, if they accept, an order confirmation.

  • After the order confirmation, you can order the booking if there's sufficient capacity in the network.

Note

Ensure that Use prices is enabled in the DOOH system parameters. Otherwise, you can't print business proposals, order confirmations, and bills.
