Edit recurring sales invoices

Edit your recurring invoice to

• Change the invoice details
• Change the frequency
• Change the email address

Changes made to a recurring invoice are only applied to any subsequent invoices.

Change the invoice details

Edit the recurring invoice when you want to add or remove products or services, change product details such as prices or description, change invoice details such as delivery address, due days or terms and conditions.

• You can change the customer as long as no invoices have been generated.

  If you need to change the customer after an invoice has been created, cancel the recurring invoice and set it up again.

• If you know the details of a product or service have changed, but you don't you know the new details such as the new price, delete the product or service line and select the product or service again to use the updated details.

Change the frequency

Update the schedule if you need to change the day an invoice is created. Note when the next invoice is due as you may create two invoices for the same period.

• Changes to the frequency only apply to future dates.

  For example, if you change the frequency from every Thursday and to every Wednesday, and today is Thursday then the next invoice is created on the following Wednesday.

• If you change the frequency so the next invoice is due today, then an invoice is created immediately.

  For example, if you change the frequency from every Tuesday to every Wednesday and today is Wednesday, then an invoice created immediately.

The starting date can't be changed once invoices have been created.

Cancel or delete a recurring invoice

You can cancel a recurring invoice before it's completed, for example, when customer cancels their order.

• Pause the recurring invoice, in case you need to set it up again.
• Change the Ending, so no more invoices are created. The recurring invoice shows as Completed on the Recurring Invoices list so you can copy to a new one if required.
• Delete the recurring invoice. This prevents any more invoices being created and removes it from the Recurring Invoices list.
