Renewal options
Renewal term

Repeat renewal
To specify whether the contract option should be copied to be applied later.
If set to Yes, when processing this renewal option, Planon will create a copy of the option and will increment the priority so that the process of renewal will run continuously until it is ended by setting the value for this field to No.
To use this feature, renewal options must be based on priority and not on date.
If this field is set to No, the renewal option will only be processed once, after which its status changes to Exercised.
Priority
The automated renewal process operates based on the value you set in this field. The contract option with the highest priority (1) is processed first.
Contract options for the same contract cannot have the same priority. For more information on automatic renewal, see Renewal options.
Tentative contract end date
The date that appears in this field is based on the following calculation:
Contract end date + Renewal term = Tentative contract end date
Example:
31-12-2018 + Year = 31-12-2019
This date is a tentative date, because it may shift as a result of changing the contract end date. This date will only be calculated if the renewal option status is Active or In preparation.
