Publication records contain the master details including publication title (such as magazine name), frequency of editions, issue incrementals, advertising targets, payment terms, allowed discounts and other information that applies across all editions.
Within each Publication record past, present and future editions/issues are listed or created. Advertising rates are stored within each issue that are referenced from within Quotations and Orders. Each new edition created takes the advertising rates from the previous editions, which reduces configuration time but allows rates to be updated at anytime.
