The Season Orders module enables stations to define the scheduling conditions of a TV season, allowing to define specific scheduling criteria for specific episodes. Season Orders are created for those programs meant to be broadcasted over a long period such as soap operas, action season, science fiction season, etc, and more generally, it is for any kind of program which intended to be transmitted in two or more episodes.
Season Orders are used exclusively for the definition of scheduling conditions of TV season, further licensing rights associated to the TV season must be performed from the Etere BMS module (for a real and accurate tracking of licensing rights) since rights specified in the season orders are merely referential an no real control is performed based on it.
Throughout this chapter it explained the most common tasks related to the management of season orders including the following topics:
•How to create an order
•How to insert a new order line
•How to schedule a season' order line
NB: Please note that the Season Orders module is available only if the Purchase Orders license is missing.
