Classic Inventory Scheduling: Proposal Generation and Cost Management Overview

Classic inventory scheduling in LMX, plus the final proposal review, generation, and download steps (PDF, PPT, Excel).

Classic Inventory Scheduling

Classic inventories have a simpler scheduling process. There is no SOV or loop control — the advertiser owns 100% of the face for the booked period.

Field / Setting

Description

Inventory ID & Location

Billboard reference and city/state

Total Price

Per-inventory cost based on the rate card

Minimum Days

Minimum booking lead time as set during onboarding. Shown as a warning if the campaign period is too short.

Add / Edit / Remove Schedule

Same schedule management as digital — multiple schedule blocks supported

Note: Production Cost and Installation Cost checkboxes appear in the top-right corner of the Schedule page. These apply to Classic inventories only. Both are checked by default. When checked, these additional costs are added on top of the inventory rate in the final proposal. Uncheck to exclude them.

Step 5 — Review & Generate Proposal

The final review screen shows a complete summary of the campaign — all schedules, inventory configurations, estimations, and overhead costs — before the proposal is generated.
