2) Click Schedule an invoice

3) Select the Invoice template that you will use and click Schedule an invoice

7) Set the Schedule settings and choose Create and send invoice automatically

There are three Send until options

  • Set stop date - choose a future end date for the recurring invoice to be stopped

  • Number of invoices - set the total number of invoices that should be sent

NOTES:

  • For the options Set stop date and Number of invoices, once all invoices have been sent as per the chosen schedule, the recurring invoice will be tagged as Completed

  • Invoice payment terms for recurring invoices are sent independently from the payment terms for ad hoc invoices

8) Set the Email template

Choose to send an online link and/or a PDF copy of the invoice.

If sending it for the first time, choose the email address of the invoice recipient.

9) Click SAVE to confirm the changes.

NOTE: This will NOT activate the recurring invoice.

10) Click Activate to activate the recurring invoice.

NOTES:

  • If the start date chosen is the same as the creation date, the first invoice will be sent immediately. All future invoices will be sent at 7.00 a.m. local time.

  • A recurring invoice can be created as a draft, and it can be sent at a later date.

  • The same invoice can be assigned to another client and set with a different schedule.

  • The contents of the invoice can be updated at any time. Don’t forget to click Save now.
