Things to know

• If the create date is today's date or earlier, the invoice will be created within 30 minutes
• The Invoice Date will be Due Date minus the Payment Terms. If no payment terms are set, the Invoice Date will be the Due Date
• The amount of the invoice can be edited after creation, if it varies. When setting up the recurring invoice, enter an amount of $0.01
• A document can be attached from the Inbox by selecting the "Document for" dropdown menu while processing the document, and selecting the invoice
• The end date cannot be equal to the date of the last invoice date. The system views the end date as such, and won't create on that date. The end date must be at least one day after.
• Editing an existing recurring invoice setup will generate a new invoice using the new parameters within 30 minutes
