Once you're on the New recurring bill page, follow these additional steps for recurring setup:

  • Due After: Set the number of days after the bill is created for it to become due (e.g., 30 days).
  • Notify on Due Date: Check this box if you want to receive a reminder on the due date.
  • Notify Before Due Date: Enable this if you'd like a reminder before the due date.
  • Remind: Specify how many days before the due date you'd like to be reminded (e.g., 1 day).
  • Notify After Due Date: Enable this if you want to be notified after the due date has passed.
  • Remind: Specify how many days after the due date you'd like a reminder (e.g., 1 day).
  • Start Date: The date the recurring schedule should begin.
  • End Date: Set this if the recurring bill should stop after a certain date.
  • Reference No: Enter a reference number for the recurring bill.
  • Schedule: Choose the recurrence pattern: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
