Set days in advance

Control how long before the scheduled date a contract work order should be created.

Days in advance decides how early a work order is generated before its scheduled deadline.

Use it to give planners enough lead time.

How it works

The recurring schedule sets the target date.

Days in advance sets the generation date before that target.

If the target date is August 31 and days in advance is 30, the work order is created on August 1.

When to adjust it

Use a shorter lead time for fast planning cycles.

Use a longer lead time when scheduling needs more preparation.
