The subject "Contract Processes Generation" registers that a contract process must be generated on a specific basis or at a specific frequency. This is useful for follow-up support, such as changing backup tapes, or for the monthly billing payments for a certain period. The entry fields are: - "Start": The first date and time at which a process is generated. - "Continue Till": The first date and time at which no processes are generated any more. - "Repeat Generator": Reference to a repeat generator as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Advanced/Repeat Generators|Repeat Generators]]. - "Project": Reference to a project as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Finance/Projects|Projects]]. - "Cost Type": Reference to a cost category as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Administration/Cost Categories|Cost Category]]. - "Contract": Reference to a contract as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Finance/Contracts|Contracts]]. - "Process Template": Reference to a process as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Budget Control/Processes|Processes]]. - "Process Last Generated": Reference to the last generated process as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Budget Control/Processes|Processes]]. - "Initial Status": Reference to the initial process status as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Administration/Process Status|Process Statuses]]. - "Initial Category": Reference to the initial process category for the new processes as registered in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Administration/Process Categories|Process Categories]]. - "Next Generation based upon": The date and time at which a new process will be generated. A process is always generated when the time for which the process is to be created has passed. The generation does not depend on the system time. It continues until processes are generated for the entire period between "Start" and "Continue Till". The other fields are: - "Number": The unique number that identifies the contract process generation. ## Variables The description of the process template and the explanation of the process units can contain variables. The variables are replaced with the current valid values when the process is generated. You can use the following variables: - `:pjt_code`: project code. - `:kbg_code`: cost category code. - `:ctt_volgnummer`: contract code. - `:hgr_code`: repeat generator code. - `:ctg_omschrijving`: description of the contract process generator. - `:ctg_toelichting`: explanation of the contract process generator. - `:base_datetime`: the content of the field "Next Generation based upon". If this field has no value, the "Start" date is used. - `:base_date`: the previous variable without the time. - `:base_next_datetime`: a period after `:base_datetime`. - `:base_next_date`: the previous variable without the time. - `:base_next_next_datetime`: two periods after `:base_datetime`. - `:base_next_next_date`: the previous variable without the time. - `:base_prev_datetime`: a period earlier than `:base_datetime`. - `:base_prev_date`: the previous variable without the time. - `:base_prev_prev_datetime`: two periods earlier than `:base_datetime`. - `:base_prev_prev_date`: the previous variable without the time.
