The DSP Flight Budget Management feature provides advertisers with a centralized dashboard to manage and monitor DSP flight budgets across multiple orders.

It helps you:

• Add new flights per order or in bulk efficiently through a guided process.

Key Features and Benefits

• Centralized Budget Management: View and edit budgets across all DSP flights in one place.

• Bulk Editing: Quickly adjust budgets for multiple flights or orders simultaneously.

• Flight Creation Workflow: Add new flights in bulk with structured validation and review steps.

• Performance Visibility: Optional view of metrics like Cost, Sales, Impressions, and Clicks.

How It Works

In this article, you’ll learn how to:

1. Navigate to the Flight Budget Management dashboard.

2. Adjust budgets for existing flights.

3. Add new flights using the bulk creation flow.

1. Accessing the Flight Budgets Dashboard

1. Go to DSP → Settings → Flight Budgets.

2. You’ll see two tabs:

   • Active Flights: Current and ongoing flights with live pacing data.

   • Flight Budgets: A full view of last flight, active, and upcoming flights across all orders. 

Tip: Use filters (Order Name, Flight Status) to narrow down flights and review pacing faster.

2. Adjusting Budgets in Bulk

1. In the Active Flights tab, use the checkboxes to select one or more flights.

2. Click Edit Budget to open the bulk adjustment panel.

3. Enter the new budget amount for each flight.

4. Click Save Changes to confirm.

3. Adding New Flights in Bulk

You can add multiple flights across orders using a three-step guided process.

Step 1: Select Orders

• Select one or more orders to include in your flight creation.

• Each order displays its latest flight’s end date for context.

• Click Next to continue. (This button remains disabled until an order is selected.)

Step 2: Configure Flights

• For each selected order, enter:

  • Start and End Dates

  • Budget

Validations:

• Enter a positive budget value.

• Ensure flight dates don’t overlap with existing flights.

• Stay within order-level caps.

• If flight data is unavailable, you’ll see: “Unable to fetch last flight details. Please enter manually.”

Step 3: Review & Confirm

• Review your configurations in the summary modal.

• Once confirmed, flights are created in bulk.

• If some flights fail to create, a summary displays:
  “8 flights created successfully, 2 failed. Retry failed flights.”
