Generation Horizon is a setting that defines how far in advance work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[126]. Defining a generation horizon of 14 days would allow Universal Containers to automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date by creating work orders from maintenance plans within 14 days of their scheduled date[127]. Defining a generation timeframe of 14 days would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Timeframe is a setting that defines how often work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[128]. Configuring Auto-generate Work Orders to True would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Auto-generate Work Orders is a setting that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[129]. Defining a generation horizon of 20,160 minutes would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Horizon is measured in days, not minutes[130].

This feature should be used to reduce travel time and increase technician productivity by automatically scheduling service appointments based on predefined criteria and objectives, such as minimizing travel distance or maximizing utilization.

A Work Order can have only one Price Book associated with it, which is determined by the Price Book selected on the Work Type. To use products from different Price Books on the same Work Order, the price on Work Order Line Items for products on other Price Books can be overridden manually or by using automation tools such as Process Builder or Apex triggers. Creating one Work Order for each Price Book or using Work Types to assign Price Books to each Work Order Line Item would not allow using products from different Price Books on the same Work Order.

Global optimization is a feature that allows rescheduling multiple service appointments at once based on predefined criteria such as emergency priority, travel time, or skills[194]. Global optimization would allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work by running an optimization job that prioritizes emergency work and assigns it to the best available resources[195]. Resource Schedule Optimization is a feature that allows scheduling service appointments for individual resources based on their availability and preferences[196]. Resource Schedule Optimization would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not consider multiple resources or service appointments at once. Emergency scheduling is a feature that allows creating and assigning emergency service appointments to the best available resources[197]. Emergency scheduling would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not reschedule existing service appointments. Customer First scheduling is a feature that allows prioritizing customer preferences and satisfaction when scheduling service appointments[198]. Customer First scheduling would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not prioritize emergency work or reschedule existing service appointments.

Inventory is used to track product quantities in different locations such as warehouses or vans. Products Consumed are used to report when parts are used by technicians during service appointments and adjust inventory levels accordingly. Mobile Locations are used to track inventory in technicians' vans or trucks using geolocation data from their mobile devices. Warehouse Locations are used to track inventory in fixed locations such as warehouses or depots using address data from their records. Products Required are used to request products from inventory for a service appointment, but do not ensure that technicians report when parts are used.
