Set the schedule
- Create the invoice, or open it with Edit. See Create a sales invoice.
- In Repeat, turn on Create a recurring invoice.
- In Repeat, choose how often:
- Weekly: tick the days in Weekly schedule.
- Monthly: choose the Day of the month, or the last day, and the months in Monthly schedule. Choose every month if you bill each month.
- Yearly: the invoice repeats each year on the date of the invoice.
- Save the invoice.
Skileo works out the date of the next copy.
Make the copies
Skileo doesn’t make the copies by itself. When a date comes, make them yourself:
- Open Finances › Sales invoices in the menu.
- Click Add new and choose Generate recurring.
- The window shows how many copies are due, today or before.
- Click Generate.
Each copy is a draft without a number. The copy now carries the schedule: the invoice it comes from stops repeating.
Skileo makes up to 1,000 copies at a time. If more are due, click Generate again.
Finish each copy
- In the list, turn on Drafts only.
- Open each draft with Edit.
- Check it, give it a number, and save it. It becomes Not paid.
- Send it to your client. See Send an invoice by e-mail.
Don’t delete a draft copy before you save it. Its schedule goes with it, and Skileo can’t make that copy again. To start the schedule again, turn on Create a recurring invoice on the last invoice of the series.
Stop an invoice from repeating
- In the list, turn on Recurring only. It shows the invoices that carry a schedule.
- Open the invoice with Edit.
- Turn off Create a recurring invoice and save.
Common questions
Does Skileo send repeating invoices by itself?
No. Skileo neither makes nor sends the copies by itself. Click Generate recurring, then send each copy once you have saved it.
Why does {ui:invoices.list.action.generateRecurring} make nothing?
No date has come yet. The window says so, and its button stays off.
Which invoice carries the schedule?
The latest copy. Turn on Recurring only in the list to find it.
Can purchase invoices repeat too?
Yes. See Make an expense or an income repeat.
