Setting up quarterly/monthly service contracts in Sage 100 Contractor

SUGGESTED

We're just learning the program (very basic grasp at this point) but can't seem to figure out how a monthly/quarterly regular service contract might get set up.  We've been told that each contract would need to be set up as a job/project?  Is this something we'll need to add manually each month a contract is due or is there a way for something to automatically generate these contract invoices?  Anyone else using it this way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    I have the same question. Apparently this was moved to the Construction and Real Estate Group.

    We just started using SAGE and so far I am not impressed but I am hoping it is only because we don't fully know how to use it yet...

    Good Morning! 
    the service contracts are an invoice status. Once you set up the record and include the contract amount, next date, and cycle including the invoice details tab then you go to post and there is an option for contracts. You can do one record or a bunch that all have the same date.  I prefer one at a time so you don’t post records you didn’t intend to. The cycle will determine the new next date.  

    if you want work orders for your technicians you can copy the record or repeat this record to create them for the future. Just make sure you change their status to 7 Work order.  Since you bill from the contract record, you change the status of the work order to 8 once it’s been completed. Be careful with completed status though because you can’t change them back if you make a mistake.
