Create recuring invoice

When you add/edit invoice you have an option to set this invoice to be recurring.

That means that the invoice will be re-created automatically based on your setup for recurring invoice (every X months). You can set recurring starting from 1 month to 12 months or select custom to fit for your needs.

How the recurring days are calculated?

The date when the invoice needs to be re-created(renewed) is calculated from the invoice date.

The dates in the examples are shown in Y-m-d format.


Example 1:

  • Invoice date is XXXX-08-17
  • Recurring is every 1 month
  • The invoice will be re-created (renewed) on XXXX-09-17

Example 2:

  • Invoice date is XXXX-03-01
  • Recurring is every month
  • The invoice will be re-created (renewed) on XXXX-04-01

 

When the invoices from this invoice will be generated you will have overview which invoices are generated from this invoice. See image below.

NOTES:

  • You need to have setup cron job for this feature.
  • The invoices will be created at specific hour based Hour of day to perform automatic operations value that is set in Setup->Settings->Cron Job->Invoices
