Repeating invoices: set the schedule once, let the month run itself

Rent is the same amount on the same day every month. Typing it twelve times a year per tenant is how spreadsheets win. A repeating invoice is set once and then happens.

By the end of this pageYou will know how repeating invoices are created, what they contain, how to change or pause one, and what to expect on the day they run.

What a schedule contains

A client, a list of lines (description and amount), the day of the month to raise, the number of days until due, a start month and an optional end. Rent is the first line; anything fixed — dues, parking, a flat water charge — can be added. Variable charges such as metered water are not lines on the schedule; they are added to the month's invoice when you have the reading, or the invoice is held as a draft until then.

Changing one

Money › Repeating, pick the schedule, edit. Changes take effect from the next raising day; invoices already raised are not touched. A rent increase from a renewal is applied from the month you choose. To change the day for everyone — say from the 1st to the 25th of the previous month — use Bulk edit and it asks you once.

Pausing and stopping

Pause for a month a tenant has prepaid or a unit under repair; the schedule skips that month and resumes. End by setting the end date, which a recorded move-out does for you. A paused or ended schedule keeps its history.

Review first, or fully automatic

In Settings › Business › Invoicing choose whether the nightly run sends invoices or drafts them for you to review and send from one list. Start with drafts. After two clean months, switch.

Nothing is raised twice. The run checks that an invoice for that schedule and that month does not already exist. Raise one by hand on the 28th and the run on the 1st will see it and skip.
