Deleting a Zero-Dollar Ad Insertion

Zero-dollar ad insertions are typically created as placeholders for trade agreements or special deals where no payment is required. However, if the client decides not to run the ad for that month, or the trade agreement has been revised or canceled, the Zero-Dollar insertion must be deleted to ensure accurate records and to prevent confusion in billing or ad placement. Removing the insertion helps maintain a clear and organized ad schedule, ensuring that only active and confirmed ads are included in the publication.

In ARC, navigate to the Reporting page on the left-hand side of the screen.
On the top of the page, under Choose A Report, select “Ad List”.
Select the correct month/year at the top of the page.
Click “Display”.
Scroll through your Ads List until you locate the client whose ad insertion you would like to delete.
Under the “Design” column, click on the client’s insertion.
When the new window populates, hit “Delete” and then “Yes” to confirm the deletion of the zero-dollar contract.
The ad insertion will be deleted for that specific month/year; however, it will re-populate for the following month of the contract, if there is one.

Requirements:

The insertion must be deleted before the Creative Deadline.
The insertion can only be deleted if no ads or materials have been uploaded.
- If materials have already been previously uploaded, please submit a support ticket to have the insertion deleted.
