To view and edit the purchasing conditions and the Margin in the Media Plan, two steps are necessary: you need the correct User Right and you must add the corresponding columns in the category's View Manager.

Prerequisite: The User Right

As a user, you need the corresponding Category Right to view the purchasing side of the planning:

  • Right: View purchasing perspective

Adding Metrics in the View Manager

Once the Add-On for Margin and the corresponding User Rights have been activated, new metrics are available in the View Manager. Proceed as follows to create a new View or adjust an existing one:

  1. Navigate to the Einstellungen (Settings) category in Mercury.
  2. In the View Manager of the relevant category, select the Bearbeitung (Edit) function for a view.
  3. Add the new metrics to the view. You can identify them by the following characteristics:
    • Metrics that carry the suffix (Einkauf) (Purchasing) in brackets (e.g., "FORECAST: Gross price (Purchasing)").
    • Metrics that contain Margin in the name (e.g., "Margin (%)").
    • The Price Entry Mode column.
  4. Save the View. It can now be used by all users with the appropriate rights.

Note: Metrics without a suffix always refer to the Selling Conditions (e.g., "FORECAST: Gross Price"). Only when the suffix (Purchasing) is appended does it refer to the internal Purchasing Conditions.
