How to Create a New Contract

Go to X Route > Contracts.
Click the New button on the top toolbar, or press the Ctrl + N keys.
Enter the contract information.
Click or go to Action > Schedule to enter a recurring schedule of when the contract should be posted, then click OK. See Recurrence Schedule.
Quick Tip

This recurrence schedule is used for billing when the Billing field on the contract is set to "Contract Amount" and for starting and expiring a contract. The recurrence schedule's Range of Recurrence is used to determine when to start and end posting the associated contract stops.
Billing Example
If the contract's Billing field is set to "Contract Amount", the recurrence schedule determines how frequently the contract amount should be billed regardless of the number of stops or when the stops post. If the contract's Billing field is set to "Stop Rate" or "Stop Rate * Multiplier", the recurrence schedule is required to be set, but will not be factored into billing as rates will be captured from each stop inside the contract.
Click Save & Close or Save.
