Read-back explained with an example

The example

A read-back fetches the ad set again. It shows a budget of 50 and a note that the change is queued. Without the read-back, the report would say 80 for the whole day.

What the read-back compared

• The budget field: 50 against the 80 that was intended.
• The status field: unchanged, as it should be.
• The object identifier: the same ad set that was approved.

What happened next

• The change was marked as different from the request and shown to the approver.
• A later read-back confirmed 80, and the log kept both readings with their times.

What to take from it

• Accepted means received. Applied means confirmed by a read-back.
• Keep the difference visible in reports, so the client sees what really ran.
