Overview
Actualization is the process where actual delivery metrics of a campaign are received from a Supplier or a third party and compared to the original schedule. Once these delivery metrics are reviewed by the Agency, the schedule is actualized, and that information is shared with finance for approved amounts to be paid to Suppliers.
