# Create your first subscription

> Set up recurring customer work and generate future orders on the correct cadence.

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new subscription">
    Open **Subscriptions** and select **Create subscription**. Choose the customer and property.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the order cycle">
    Choose how many weeks pass between the subscription's base orders and select the **Cycle start week**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add subscription tasks">
    Add each service with its quantity, price, estimated duration, customer-presence requirement, and task frequency.

    A task can run every cycle, every second or later cycle, or **On request**. You can also select a different first week for a task while keeping it aligned to the subscription cycle.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add scheduling requirements">
    Set required days, time, or preferred team member only when they are part of the customer agreement. Planning treats them as hard requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the confirmation">
    Choose whether to send the available subscription confirmation, then create the subscription.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review generated orders">
    Open the subscription and confirm its upcoming orders. Each generated order has its own target week and later receives its own schedule and work state.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  The subscription is ready when its status is **Active**, its task cadence is correct, and expected future orders appear under the subscription.
