Configure contract parameters
Review the main contract fields and settings that shape generation and behavior.
Contract parameters are the main fields that control how a contract behaves.
They shape dates, generation timing, renewal, and linked workflow behavior.
Key contract parameters
Contract type
This decides whether the contract is preventive, corrective, or yearly-order.
Customer and invoice customer
The customer receives the contract.
The invoice customer covers work outside the contract scope when needed.
Contract terms
These settings control duration, restart, and renewal behavior.
Start date and end date
These dates control when the contract is active.
If you change the start date, review the end date too.
Days in advance
This controls how early preventive work orders are created.
SLA policy
Use this on corrective contracts when response and resolution targets apply.
Form, objects, and project
Use these links when the generated work orders need the same context each time.
Order per object
Use this when linked objects should generate separate work orders.
Why parameters matter
These settings decide how OutSmart interprets the agreement.
Small changes can affect future generation and contract management behavior.
Review the parameters carefully before you save changes.
Updates can affect future generated work orders.
When to review parameters
Check them when you:
create a new contract
edit an active contract
troubleshoot unexpected generation
prepare a renewal or restart
