A subscription is a recurring agreement for one customer and property. It creates concrete orders that Planning can assign to routes.

Before you begin

  • Create the customer and service property.
  • Add the services included in the agreement.
  • Decide the base order cycle and its start week.
  • Know whether any service runs less often or only on request.
