The Recurring Schedule module allows invoices to be generated automatically based on a set schedule.
This feature is useful when billing details are repetitive, such as customer information, amounts, and descriptions.
Invoices are created according to the defined schedule.
Billing details (e.g., customers, amount, description, etc.) are reused each time the schedule runs.
The recurring schedule can be used multiple times, reducing manual entry and ensuring consistency.
Go to Manage Invoices > Recurring Schedule.
On Bill Type, e.g., select "On-Site Billing."
On the Invoice Type, select the applicable item type. If you will create regular dues billing, select Association Dues, Special Assessments, and the like.
Fill out the needed information:
Start date: this will be the start of the regular billing schedule and the first billing date.
a. The start date should be the first day of the month so that this will be included in the current month's SOA generation. Otherwise, the invoices will be included in next month's SOA.
Example - 1st day of the month e.g., May 01, 2023
Schedule type: by default, the selected period is every month and starts on the 1st day of the month. The recurring cycle will depend on the schedule type.
a. Select the first day of the month so that this will be included in the current month's SOA generation. Otherwise, the invoices will be included in next month's SOA.
