How to stop a monthly reoccurring system administration entry

We are experiencing what occurs to be a reoccurring issue related to a customer.  It keeps creating a new invoice each month.

In the audit logs there are three times the System Administration created a new invoice and each is on the first of every month:

Jan. 1, 2021

Feb. 1, 2021

March 1, 2021

(There is a fourth entry dated Dec. 15 related to 'reconciliation discrepancies'.)

 

The last (and only) invoice created for this customer is dated 12/10/20.

 

I've been reading in the QB Community about these System Administration entries and the reasons why they happen, such as changing a record and that change affects another record, connecting with a 3rd party app, creating a reoccurring transaction or setting up other events to happen automatically.  I can say that we don't use a 3rd party app and we've not set up any reoccurring events, at least not intentionally.  However, we were very new to QB in December 2020 and its probable that we did something unknowingly.      

 

We were just deleting the monthly new invoice the System Administration was creating, but that's obviously not working.  My question is, how do we stop the monthly reoccurring invoice?

Welcome to the QuickBooks family, @userbeveragesunlimit.

 

I appreciate you for providing detailed concerns and reading some related articles about system administration entry in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'm here to help you investigate why this is happening to your account.

 

Let's check your recurring window if there's a template created. If there's that's the reason why it keeps creating a new invoice each month. You can stop that by deleting it. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then choose Recurring Transactions.
  2. Locate an invoice template, then click Pause or Delete in the Action drop-down. 
  3. Tap Yes to confirm.

 

 

After doing that the system stops creating random transactions. For more information, check out this article: Review your recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.
