Understand contract work order generation

See how OutSmart turns contract schedules into generated work orders.

Contracts generate work orders based on the configured schedule.

Generation timing depends on the scheduled date and days in advance.

How generation works

OutSmart calculates the scheduled dates for the contract.

Then it determines when each work order should be created.

That generation date is based on the scheduled date minus the configured lead time.

What affects generation

Important factors include:

• recurring schedule
• days in advance
• contract type
• order per object
