## **Create recurring invoice**

When you add/edit invoice you have an option to set this invoice to be recurring.

That means that the invoice will be re-created automatically based on your setup for recurring invoice (every X months). You can set recurring starting from 1 month to 12 months or select custom to fit your needs.

**How are the recurring days calculated?**

The date when the invoice needs to be re-created(renewed) is calculated from the **invoice date.**

**The dates in the examples are shown in Y-m-d format.**

**Example 1:**

-   Invoice date is XXXX-08-17
    
-   Recurring is **every 1 month**
    
-   The invoice will be re-created (renewed) on XXXX-09-17
    

**Example 2:**

-   Invoice date is XXXX-03-01
    
-   Recurring is **every month**
    
-   The invoice will be re-created (renewed) on XXXX-04-01
    

**Stop a Recurring Invoice**

In order to stop recurring invoice, you will need to go to the invoice edit area and set the **Recurring Invoice** drop-down field to NO.

**NOTES**:

-   You need to have setup cron job for this feature.
    
-   Recurring Draft invoices **won’t be re-created.**
    
-   Recurring invoices with status Cancelled (canceled invoices) **will be** still re-created when the date for the next recurring invoice comes. In case you don’t want the invoice to be re-created from canceled invoice you must edit the invoice and set Recurring to No.
