Repeat a bill or journal entry

A bill or a journal entry entered by hand can repeat, such as rent each month. Open it, choose More, then Repeat this bill or Repeat this entry. Choose how often (every week, month, 3 months or year), the first date and, if it ends, the last date, and choose Repeat.

When Accounting is opened, a copy will be entered for each date that has come, dated that day, with the same supplier or contact, accounts and amounts. A repeating bill's due date is the same number of days after its date as the original's, and its bill number is blank. A date before the books start is skipped; a date in a closed period is entered on the first day after it, with a note of its own date.

A bill in another currency, an entry added from another area, and a reversal cannot repeat.

The Recurring page

Recurring lists everything that repeats, with the next date and how many copies have been entered. Click the name, how often, the next date or the last date to change it. Turn off Repeating to pause it, or choose Remove to stop it; copies already entered stay in the books.

If a copy cannot be entered, for example because one of its accounts was archived, the schedule stops at that date and says why, and the overview lists it. Fix the cause and choose Try again.

For a copy that was entered wrongly, reverse it like any journal entry or void the bill; see Keep books with Accounting. For anything else, Contact support.
