WideOrbit Cart ID Integration allows information to be pulled between a user's WideOrbit order for a client and the vPPO order for that client. Specifically it allows for advertiser sync, the materials group and the cart ID. WideOrbit is the business operating system for the largest radio and TV companies in the US. The Traffic system is where all revenue and orders are tracked, invoices generated and collected and spots are scheduled. Traffic systems holds all inventory for traditional and digital businesses.
NOTE: The user must create the advertiser in WideOrbit before entering an order for that advertiser in vPPO. For information on what to do if a WideOrbit Advertiser is missing from vPPO - click here
Users with Traffic Ability can select the WideOrbit Material Group and request a cart ID with the Get Cart ID link, visible in the folder list view. The protocol for which materials groups to use will be provided by the specific market's traffic department.
After selecting the materials group, the user will click the Get Cart ID button located under the Cart ID field. That action will cause the orders to populate in the Electronic Materials page in the user's WideOrbit account. In the Electronic Materials page, the user will then double click on the line in the order to open that order. Inside the order they can verify all information is correct, edit if it's not, then click 'ok'.

After going through that process, the cart ID numbers will auto populate in vPPO.
This short video details the process of requesting a materials group in vPPO and the process done in WideOrbit to return the cart ID.

If you receive this error message:
It's likely the advertiser was created in another market.
Another note:

- Right click on the material that is incorrect
- Select Delete
- Refresh your vCreative screen and re-select the correct material group
