To create Recurring Invoice, we need to set the interval of time to recur automatically to the customer through Invoice Cron job Settings.
Go to Global Settings–>Master Settings–>Invoice Cron job Settings–> Settings.
12/24 hours format is used to automate the operations at these intervals. This can be customized again, as when to recur (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) and how many cycles to take place. The invoice will be recurred at a specific time of the day, based on the hour you have mentioned in this field.
It will be recurred automatically by giving a value to send Auto send reminder / Auto re-send reminder to the Customer through an Email by using a Invoice cron job ( in Master Settings ).
Creation of New invoice is of three types,
- Generate and auto-send the renewed invoice to the customer: This creates a new child invoice automatically and is sent to the customer through mail.
- Generate an unpaid invoice: Here the child invoice is generated and displayed to the customer but email will not be sent.
- Generate a draft invoice: New child invoice is generated but will neither be displayed to customer nor mail will not be sent.
How it will be Calculated:
The date when the invoice needs to be re-created(renewed/recurred) is calculated from the invoice date which is given manually during the creation of the Invoice.
