All of the above options are fields within the Media plan. Assuming these fields have been updated in the plan any of the following options can be selected to show or not on the printout.

The Time, Material and Position show collectively on the Details column on the printout whereas the Costs show separately on different columns. Not selecting the Costs option issues a printout without any costs.

Check Numbers

This is a feature from NEOSYS where the system does a check as to whether the number of ads in the Months column are equal to the numbers of ads in the 'No. Ads' field. If the number of ads in both the columns match the printout will be issued normally, however in the event of a discrepancy in the number of ads the system would inform you about the same before issuing the printout.
