Set up a Recurring Bill

Recurring Bills are used to setup Bills that are paid on a particular frequency. Once the initial recurring bill is created, generate (usually monthly) all the recurring bills. If the bill amount varies each time, such as in the case of a utility bill, the amount may be modified once the recurring bill is generated. These recurring items are viewable from the Recurring Items menu option of the Accounts Payable menu.

  1. You can enter a new Recurring Bill either from Accounts Payable/Bills or from the Vendor Explorer and right-clicking on the Bills tree option and selecting New Bill.
  2. Once the Bill form is displayed, fill in the required and optional information. Select the Recurring Bill checkbox in the upper right area of the Bills form.
  3. Click the Save button at the lower right of the Bills form.

  1. The Recurring Bill form opens. Select the Frequency from the drop-down list.
  2. Enter a Description for the Recurring Bill.
  3. Enter or select the a date from the calendar for the Next Due Date. If an End Date is needed (typically used for loans) enter or select a date from the calendar.

  1. When finished, click the Save button located at the lower right of the form. A confirmation message opens; click the Yes button to confirm.

The Recurring Bill is displayed in the list of Recurring Items from the Accounts Payable menu.
