Formatting options
Date Format
NEOSYS allows you to format the appearance of the scheduled dates on the invoice printout as follows:
- Partial Grid
Only shows the dates from the first ad to the last ad during the month.
- Full Grid
Unlike the Partial Grid the Full Grid shows the dates of the entire month highlighting the dates on which the ads are scheduled.
- List
Shows a different view of the schedule only in terms of how the dates of the scheduled ads appear on the invoice.

- Postion/Program

Choose what data should appear on the invoice.

Net & Gross Columns
- All columns
- Gross and Net only
- Net only
Choose what cost to show on invoice.
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.
Approve Schedule

Approve the schedule from the invoicing form considering it has not been already approved. The current date is entered as the client approval date on the schedule once the invoice is generated.
This is ineffective if the approval date has already been entered in the schedule.
