Recurring AP Bills

Recurring AP Bills

You can handle recurring AP bills in a couple of different ways.

  1. When adding a new vendor bill (Expenses -> Vendor Bills -> New Vendor Bill), you can create multiple copies of the bill. For the field Bill Into How Many Equal Parts, enter in the number of bill copies you want to make. Select Copy for the field Bill Into How Many Equal Parts Method. The system will then make additional copies of the bill spaced one month apart. Choosing the option Subdivide will split up the value of the bill across the multiple bill versions (so 6 copies of a $600 bill will each be for $100 with the Subdivide method, while the Copy setting will make 6 $600 bills).
  2. Make a new recurring bill by copying an existing bill. Locate the existing bill you'd like to copy in the Expenses -> Vendor Bills table. Hover over the invoice number and click the small arrow to bring up the context menu for the bill. Click the Copy menu link at the top. You can also click on the invoice number to open the bill and click the Copy button on that page. You can enter in the new invoice number, date, and amount (if it has changed). 

If you need recurring GL entries, you can activate the Recurring Ledger Entries add-on by going to Tools -> System -> Add-ons and then clicking the Ledger button on the page. Toggle the Recurring Ledger Entries option to On. You may need to log out and back in or refresh the browser tab to see the new menu options for this add-on. Recurring GL entries can be managed by going to Ledger -> Recurring Entries.
