Settings → Finance → Cycle Billing holds the two org-wide controls behind the Rate Card's automation: how far ahead service jobs get generated, and whether Cycle Invoices draft themselves.
Default job lead days controls how far ahead of a Rate Card row's next visit the nightly job-generation run creates the corresponding unassigned service job on the dispatch board. A smaller number keeps the board close to real time; a larger number gives dispatchers more room to plan routes in advance. This is an org-wide default — every customer's Rate Card rows use it unless you've configured something different at the customer level.
Auto-cycle-draft governs the nightly pre-close drafting of Rate Card invoices. It has three parts: an enabled toggle to turn the automation on or off, lead days to set how many days before a customer's cycle closes the draft gets created, and notify emails to specify who's alerted when a new draft appears. When it's off, Cycle Invoices only get created when someone clicks "Generate Cycle Invoice" manually or runs the batch cycle rollup.
