Payments & reports for Programmatic Direct

Reports

Revenue for all Programmatic Direct campaigns can be determined by using Ad Manager reporting.

• To view programmatic campaigns in reports, use the filter for "Programmatic order" and set it to "True". This filter includes both Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals in Ad Manager (but not Preferred Deals originating from Ad Exchange). 
• Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals in Ad Manager serve through Ad Manager. As such, use metrics for Ad Manager ("Ad server impressions" for instance) and not those for Ad Exchange reports.
• You can report on Makegoods as you would for other line items. Learn more about reports and payments for Makegoods.

As of April 1, 2021, this revenue is reported net of Ad Manager fees, bringing Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals into alignment with all other transaction types.

• Reports that span dates before and after April 1, 2021 display a mix of gross and net revenue.
• Gross revenue is reported for all dates before April 1, 2021.
• Net revenue is reported for all dates after April 1, 2021.

Payments

Net payments for Ad Manager Programmatic campaigns are set up the same way as Ad Exchange payments and follow a similar timeline as payments for Ad Exchange. Transactions such as Open Bidding, "Ad Exchange for Content", "AdSense for Content", "AdSense for Search revenue" appear on the Transactions page by the second of the month. Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals appear on the Transactions page on the eleventh of the month.

To view transactions:

2. Navigate to Billing  Payments  Payments.

   If you're accessing this feature from Ad Exchange instead of Ad Manager, click Admin  Payments  Payments.

3. In the "Transactions" section, click View transactions.

Payments are issued toward the end of the month, on the same schedule as other Ad Exchange payments, and disbursed to the same account you set up in your payment method.
