Lesson 1: Log on and navigate around BrandOcean (10 min.)

Objective(s) Identify where BrandOcean Estimates fits in to the production workflow. Key Concept/Message An estimate is created after an agency opens a job to track the costs for creating the advertisers ad. The estimate lets the advertiser know the cost of the ad. After the estimate is created, an account executive submits the estimate to the client for approval. The account executive approves or rejects the estimate on behalf of the client. The production department in the agency is notified of approval and creates purchase orders for the approved goods and services. Throughout the life of the job, the estimate is reviewed. If an estimate is rejected or requires changes, it can be revised and resubmitted for approval. Demo/Activity Review workflow diagram in quick card.

Lesson 3: Add Items and Materials (10 min.)

Objective(s) Add Items and Materials Key Concept/Message If there is a price list associated with materials you frequently estimate against, use the Items & Artists pane to estimate against those items. Also use this pane to estimate hours. Before you add an item against a work code, the work code amount must be zero. Your setup determines which items are linked to the work code. You can enter a number of units per item, a total amount for the item, and descriptive text. The Total field is calculated based on the number of units and the unit price. If the item doesn't have an associated price, manually enter a total amount in the Total field. You can estimate hours the same way you estimate items. The Total field is calculated based on the number of hours and the rate. When you reconcile this estimate, the number you enter in the # Units column is displayed in the Estimated Hours column. Scenario You realize you need to includes costs for photography on the estimate. You need to add the cost for film. Use the Items & Artists pane to specify the 5 rolls of film (PH03) for the KA photography work code. In this example, the PH03 item has an associated price. Specify the number of units.

Class: BrandOcean Estimates Lesson 4: Submit an estimate (5 min.)

Lesson 4: Submit an estimate (5 min.)

Objective(s) Submit an estimate Key Concept/Message If there are no estimate approvers defined on your companys file, all users with valid PIDs are eligible to approve estimates. On submitting an Estimate, if the "Selfapproval in Estimates" is set to Yes, the estimate status changes to Client Approved. The audit is updated to say that the estimate has been approved by the user who submitted the estimate. When you submit an estimate for approval, the Select Approver dialog is displayed for you to select an approver. You can select an approver from the drop-down list or accept the current approver. When you submit the estimate, your estimate status changes from In progress to Submitted to client. During certain parts of the estimates workflow, email notification can be sent to the estimate preparer and the estimate approver. This email is sent from notifications@brandocean.net. The designated approver will get an email notification of the approval request. When an estimate has been approved or rejected, the estimate preparer will get an email notification of the approval status. You can change estimate name on a submitted estimate.

Lesson 5: Approve and reject estimates (10 min.)

Objective(s) Approve/reject an estimate Key Concept/Message A list of estimates awaiting your approval displays when you log on to BrandOcean. You can also see the list if you click the Approvals button. Approvers have the authority to approve estimates on behalf of client. They may be limited to only approve estimates for specific clients, products or jobs. Some approvers also have the authorization to approve or reject any estimate regardless of whether or not it was submitted to them for approval. Various mainframe settings affect who approves an estimate. When an estimate is submitted for approval one of the following occurs: if there is only one eligible approver for this estimate, it will automatically go to that approver, if there are multiple eligible approvers for this estimate, an Approver dialog is displayed for you to choose one. You may be designated as the approver for an estimate that you create. The workflow, however, remains unchanged. A message prompt will appear stating that the estimate has been submitted to you. Open the Awaiting Approval folder in the Browse by pane to approve or reject estimates.
CurrentEstimates Training outline 052511.doc

Scenario/Analogy/ Business Case In this scenario, you're an approver and you just received notification that you need to review an estimate for approval. After reviewing the estimate with your client, you will approve the estimate on their behalf.

Demo/Activity Approve estimate in Awaiting Approval folder ending in (A) and enter name of client that approved details. Reject an estimate - Reject estimate in Awaiting Approval folder ending in (R) and enter Approvers comments explaining why you rejected estimate. Question: 1. Where can you find the estimates awaiting your approval? 2. If you reject an estimate, what field do you need to complete?

Class: BrandOcean Estimates Lesson 5: Approve and reject estimates (10 min.) Scenario/Analogy/ Business Case

Objective(s)

Key Concept/Message To approve an estimate, you need to type the name of the client contact that has approved the estimate details in the Client Approver field. Approver's comments are optional when approving an estimate. An approved estimate cannot be changed unless you have security to do so. You can change the text but if you want to change the dollar amounts then you need to copy the estimate. You may want to reject an approved estimate, if you made a mistake on it, approved it in error or want to create another estimate to replace it as part of the current estimate. When an estimate is rejected, it needs to be copied before it is revised and resubmitted for approval. In order to reject an estimate, you need to open it and give a reason for rejecting it in the Approvers Comments field is required. Only In Progress or Rejected estimates can be deleted.

Class: BrandOcean Estimates Lesson 6: Revise an estimate (5 min.)

Lesson 6: Revise an estimate (5 min.)

Objective(s) Revise an estimate to reflect changes to job requirements Key Concept/Message You can copy estimates regardless of status. The new estimate that is created assumes an "In Progress" status. Your security access determines the changes you can make to estimates. With security access, you can change all fields on "In Progress" estimates except for client, product and job fields. For "Submitted" and "Approved" estimates, you can only change the extra information, header and footer text fields. If you need to change work codes and amounts on approved, submitted or rejected estimates, you need to copy the original estimate, make the changes and submit it for approval. When you browse by status, the My Estimates folder only shows you YOUR estimates. Browsing by client, lists ALL the estimates for the selected client. Type a number in the Copy % field if you want to adjust the work code amounts by the percentage you specify. Each work code row amount is adjusted by the percentage you enter in this field.
CurrentEstimates Training outline 052511.doc

Scenario/Analogy / Business Case In this scenario, you need to revise the original estimate to reflect the increase in estimated cost. You will copy the already approved original estimate 00117 and revise the costs on the copied estimate. You will add costs to the Photography Casting work code and change the amount on the Photo Film/Processing work code.

Demo/Activity 1. Browse for estimate 00117 SRE Full Page Soap Est (Use). 2. Copy estimate w/Header & Footer. 3. Reject the original estimate. 4. Click the Estimate Name field. 5. Replace the current estimate name with Spring Shampoo ad rev1 and press Enter. 6. Click the highlighted amount cell for the K1 work code. 7. Type 500 and click the amount cell for the K3 work code. 8. Type 700 and click the Save button. Questions: 1. Which fields can you edit when you copy a job level estimate? Estimate date, name amounts and work codes

Class: BrandOcean Estimates Lesson 6: Revise an estimate (5 min.) Scenario/Analogy / Business Case

Objective(s)

Key Concept/Message Click the Copy Header & Footer checkbox if you want to copy over the header and footer. If you have security to reject estimates, you get a message asking if you want to reject the original estimate. If you reject an approved or submitted estimate, it now has a rejected status even if it was previously approved. Multiple estimates cannot be copied simultaneously. When copying estimates that have work codes with items there is a possibility that the item or item price may have changed since the estimate to be copied was created. Copied estimates are given the next available unique and job level sequential estimate number. The current estimate is defined as the sum of the approved estimates if NAE is set to Y, or the sum of approved and submitted estimates if NAE is set N.

The selected estimate must be for the same job and scheme. The View Several dialog is displayed. In the first section, you specify the estimate you want to edit. From the middle section, you can select any other columns you wish to include in the view e.g., Purchase Orders, Actuals).A maximum of six columns, including the above estimates, can be selected. In the last section, you can replace amounts in the editable estimate with amounts from one of the columns in the middle section. This is useful if the agency chooses to actualize estimates by replacing the current amounts with actuals. You can also use the Copy estimate feature to create a new estimate based on the amounts of a previous estimate. Scenario/Analogy/ Business Case In this scenario, you need to edit an in progress revision estimate. Since you want to refer to the original estimate as you edit the revision, you will use the View Several feature to see the original and revision estimates side-by-side. Demo/Activity 1. Browse for estimates for SRE/SO1/P00045. 2. Select the original and the revised estimates from the list. 3. Click the View Several button. 4. Select the 2nd estimate as the editable estimate. 5.

Class: BrandOcean Estimates Lesson 9: Merge estimates (10 min.)

Lesson 9: Merge estimates (10 min.)

Objective(s) Merge estimates Key Concept/Message You can merge two or more estimates on the same job to create a new estimate. You can merge a maximum of 20 estimates When you merge estimates, the header, footer, extra information, category names and descriptions for the new estimate are taken from the estimate you select as the base estimate. The work codes and amounts from the different estimates are merged into the new estimate and the new totals are calculated. You can check option to change the status of the original estimates to "Merged" You can check option to merge work codes that appear on both estimates. The default status of the new estimate is In Progress. Your security access and the statuses of the original estimates determine if you can select a status from the Status of new estimate drop-down list. Scenario/Analogy/ Business Case In the scenario for this lesson,, there are two separate "in progress" estimates for the Summer Shampoo job P00047. Since different groups were responsible for costing out the Art and Production categories, separate estimates were created to make the costing easier to manage. You want to merge the two estimates and submit the new estimate for approval. You want to change the status of the original estimates to "Merged" so you'll keep that checkbox selected. You also want to merge work codes that appear on both estimates. List and select the estimates you want to merge. Demo/Activity 1. Click the Smith & Reynolds folder. 2. Select the SHAMPOO folder. 3. Select the P00047 job folder. 4. Refresh the estimate list and select the estimates you want to merge.
