About the Media Planner

Introduction to the Media Planner

This is a supporting feature for job management.

JobBag's Media planner helps you schedule media bookings, create media and talent specific purchase orders, and manage the invoices accordingly. Media schedules of bookings and talent can be created, exported for clients, and options can be saved.

Markups, commissions, rebates and third party commissions are handled.

JobBag's Media feature also supports multiple currencies - projects can include suppliers that bill in different currencies as well as clients who pay in different currencies.
