Standard pricing and costing information can be entered into the Ratecard File in NEOSYS where it can easily be accessed while creating media plans and schedules.

Rates can either be gross rates for individual ads or the rate can be per column centimeter or per second etc. When the rate is dependent on size or duration, the final cost per ad is calculated depending on the size/duration entered in the schedule. "Sized" rates are indicated by an asterisk "*" character without the quotes either within or at the end of the specification column. eg INS PG* would be converted to INS PG*20X4 on the schedule. You can also enter the main or fixed sizes of a publication directly into the ratecard like INS PG*20X4.


NEOSYS allows the precise rate card information to be fed in the system which can very easily be retrieved when preparing the schedule. There is a separate column for loadings like color or position loading where the loading charges can be specified.

The 'greater than' sign is required after the percentage and before the minimum amount with no spaces eg 20%>2000 means loading of 20% with a minimum of 2000.

To retrieve an existing ratecard, click the Lookup button on the specification field and follow the prompts to select the ad rate specifications.


In the image you can see in the loading section (where the arrow points) an example of how you document a minimum amount in the rate card which on the actual rate card was mentioned as '15% extra charge for full colour (minimum Dhs 3,000)'.

The standard rates is a table for standard discounts and their corresponding discount values. These standard discounts appear in the "Discount%" field under "Client Specific Rates" as shown in the screenshot below.

Below screenshot shows the rate card file for the vehicle Copenhagen Connoisseur (COCO). Under Client Specific Rates "SILVER MEMBER" is chosen as the discount for brand "M.N.A.S and Sons" of client "Zenith Media" (ZEME). So in a media schedule for brand MNAS, if the vehicle Copenhagen Connoisseur is used, the discount shown will be -10% since SILVER MEMBER corresponds to -10% in the standard rates table.

  2. General calculated charges, such as Commission, Fee and discount (for dropdown options Net, One before Net, etc. see Calculation in discount/charges columns)

  4. Loadings - can be considered a secondary ratecard for additional charges.
  5. Client Specific rates - Client specific rates section allows users to enter bill and cost discount, commission and other rates for specific clients.
    Tip: If the client code is left blank then the discounts, commissions and other rates will be applied to all clients.

Users can create ratecards, in the schedule file by clicking on the 'File' button on the specification or loading field or by navigating to a new file using the Menu > Media > Files.
To retrieve an existing ratecard, click the Lookup button on the specification field and follow the prompts to select the ad rate specifications.

Rates can either be gross rates for individual ads or the rate can be per column centimeter or per second etc.
When the rate is dependent on size or duration, the final cost per ad is calculated depending on the size/duration entered in the schedule.
When making a ratecard selection, users will be prompted to enter the size/duration after selecting the main rate row and column. "Sized" rates are indicated by an asterisk "*" character without the quotes either within or at the end of the specification column.


Example: INS PG* would be converted to INS PG*20X4 on the schedule. You can also enter the main or fixed sizes of a publication directly into the ratecard like INS PG*20X4.

  • If tags are already entered in the Loading field, the option to choose loading will not be available.
    To work around this cut tags out Ctrl + X, make new loading selection and paste tags back in to loading field with Ctrl + V.
  • Avoid usage of commas in the rate table and instead use single quote or a blank space. e.g. 500 000 or 500'000. Refer to Gross amount picked up from Ratecard
