In MediaOS, ad units and rates help you manage your advertising inventory efficiently. By defining ad units, you can set specific sizes and formats for your ads, ensuring consistency across your offerings. Assigning rates to each unit allows for clear pricing structures, making it easy to generate accurate proposals and invoices. The system also helps prevent overselling by tracking inventory limits, ensuring a smooth and organized ad sales process.
