Inventory

Inventory is the collection of locations that can be purchased. The Inventory is typically added to Planning when a publisher responds to a Request for Proposal (RFP) that a Planning user submits. Additionally, users can add inventory directly in planning or import placements from a linked Campaign Manager 360 campaign.

Inventory Providers
