Before you begin

• You should identify an integration point of contact (POC) within your company who has a working knowledge with various integrations.
  • This POC should have admin access to the entire Display & Video 360 network or specific advertisers and the appropriate level of access to Prisma.
• The integration POC should ensure that the following steps are completed:
  • Have a list of advertisers or Prisma instances that you would like to onboard
  • Set up billing integration in Display & Video 360
  • Complete Mediaocean authorization steps
  • Contact Mediaocean if you run into any issues during set up

2. Click the User management icon on the top-right hand corner.
3. Ensure that the integration POC setting up the integration has full admin access to each Display & Video 360 partner.

Step 2 of 4: Set up Invoice level settings

How it works

Budget component

The budget component allows for budgets to be pushed from Prisma to Display & Video 360 along with Prisma unique identifiers to be printed on invoices.

1. Media buyers access Prisma to add or edit a campaign and campaign budget segments.
2. Prisma will use integration calls to add or edit budgets in the relevant Google product.
3. Every month, the relevant Google product will generate an invoice including all details submitted within the budget integration call such as amount, flight date, unique identifier, or Prisma insertion order number.

Invoice component

The invoice component allows Google invoice data to appear directly in Prisma inclusive of client, product, estimate, insertion order number, and actual invoice amounts for easy reconciliation.

1. Invoice data will be programmatically pulled into Prisma.
2. Prisma will show "booked budget" against invoice amount and automatically highlight any discrepancies in the interface.
3. The finance team can now process payments or disputes immediately since they no longer have to manually reconcile bookings against invoices.
