# Renewal Management

Maica gives you the ability to automatically generate new Service Agreement records ahead of expiry, helping you stay proactive with renewals. These settings allow you to define when and how a Renewal Service Agreement is created, and who it is assigned to.

The configuration options below apply to **Service Agreements with an End Date**, and each setting plays a role in determining how the new Agreement will be generated when the renewal logic runs daily.

Please refer to the below table for more information on each setting, and the section below for more detail around the entry criteria (the criteria required for a Service Agreement to be included in the automated renewal process):

### Entry Criteria

For a Service Agreement to be included in the automated renewal process, it must meet the following criteria:

* **Auto Renewal** is enabled on the record (`Auto_Renewal__c = TRUE`).
* **End Date** of the Service Agreement falls within the configured renewal window.

{% hint style="info" %}
The renewal window is determined using this logic:\
\
The system checks if the Agreement’s **End Date** is within *X* days from today, where *X* is the number configured in **Renew Service Agreements**.

For example, if **Renew Service Agreements** is set to 30, the system will begin considering Agreements for renewal when their End Date is within 30 days from the current date.
{% endhint %}

Agreements that meet both conditions will be processed when the daily renewal job runs.
