Understand restarting versus renewing contracts

Learn the difference between manual restart and automatic renewal in contract management.

Restarting and renewing both continue a service agreement.

They do not work in the same way.

Use Restart contract when the current contract period ends and the contract does not renew automatically.

This creates a new contract with the same conditions.

Renewal depends on the selected contract terms.

When the terms allow automatic renewal, OutSmart can continue the agreement automatically when the end date is reached.

Use restart when you want manual control at the end of the period.

Use renewal when the agreement should continue automatically based on the term settings.

Do I need to restart a contract that renews automatically?

No.

Automatic renewal handles that flow for you.

Does restart use the same conditions?

Yes.

It creates a new contract with the same conditions.

Where is renewal controlled?

Renewal behavior is controlled in the contract terms.
