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

Net/Gross

• All columns

• Gross and Net only

• Net only

• Gross only

NEOSYS allows you to select what part of the cost do you want to appear on the plan/schedule printout. You can select either only the gross cost or net cost or both to appear on the printout. Selecting All columns also show the discounts and charges over the cost of the ad.

Check numbers

Checked by default, this option tells the system to check for any discrepancy in the number of ads on the schedule row. The schedule printout/ new invoice would not be issued if the ads entered in the Dates calendar do not match the Number of Ads column. However, you can select the No option if you wish to proceed with printing/invoicing the schedule.

It could be possible that the number of ads entered in the Dates calendar differ from the number of ads in the No. Ads column in the media schedule row due to changes made by the agency representative or for some other reason.

Subtotals

• Lines and Subtotals
