Working with defaults
You can define default values for coordinators/tradespeople, based on the default settings for the Trade or for Order group business objects.
Settings concerning preferred or default tradespeople and coordinators per property, trade or order group can be created in Supporting data , by system administrators.

For more information refer to Supporting data > Default settings.
The default values of External/Internal coordinators/tradespeople also depend on the Business object settings > Default addresses/persons priority setting in Field definer .

For more information, refer to Field definer > Working with defaults.
In Service Manager, when adding or modifying orders, default internal/external coordinator/tradesperson field values are searched in the following sequence:
1. If an order is linked to a contract, the defaults defined for the contract line/contract are used first. If the Contract line field on the order does not contain a value, the defaults defined in the contract are used.
2. If no default value is available for the External tradesperson field, the default defined for the asset is used.
3. If no External tradesperson is available, use the address that is connected to the contracting party of the granting contracting party of this contract.
4. If in Field definer > Order settings > General tab, the 1, Trade / Order group option is selected, the default settings are assigned in the following order, depending on the availability of the default values in the business object combinations:
