Hi All, If I've made a re-occurring invoice, and I've put a service date on it, will the service date automatically update for each invoice generated? Thank u

Good day, @info569.

QuickBooks won’t automatically update the information added in the Service Date column. You may need to manually modify it yourself before the next scheduled date.

For more information about this type of transaction, check out this article: How to create a recurring invoice and manage recurring transactions.

Leave a comment if you have any other concerns. I'm more than happy to help. Have a fantastic day!

What point if we have to manually go and edit recurring invoices, we might as well create those manually.

If its. recurring there should be an option to automatically take the invoice date as service date

I appreciate you for joining us here in the Community for your service date concern, @awrange.

Allow me to provide some clarifications regarding this matter. As mentioned by my peer KhimG above, recurring transaction templates don't automatically populate the service date field on transactions.

You'll need to find each transaction and manually enter the correct service date. It is because the system isn't able to recognize as to when does the service or purchase happened.
