Recurring invoices

I am starting to use recurring invoices for my business.  I am a commercial property manager.  I bill rents monthly for 50+ units.  Some of my tenants have multiple units.  

1.  In QB desktop, I was able to select the order in which invoices were created (each recurring invoice had a unique identifier).  Can this be done in QBO?  I can sort my recurring invoices alphabetically.  Can I get QBO to create the monthly invoices in the same order?

2.  When I create an individual invoice, I can enter the service date.  How can I get the service date to update and enter for each new month?

If I have not selected the correct bulletin board, please let me know where I should post these questions.

Recurring invoices

Thanks for reaching out to us, VIPPropMgr.

 

Yes, you can set up a recurring transaction for your invoices and assign a unique name for each template. Choose a scheduled type to ensure they are in the same order. Also, you can turn on the service date feature and update it every time you create an invoice for your customer. I'll show you the steps.

 

These are the steps to create recurring transactions:

 

  1. Go to the Gear or Settings ⚙ icon.
  2. Under Lists, select Recurring Transactions.
  3. Click New, then choose Invoice in the Transaction Type dropdown.
  4. Hit OK.
  5. Enter your desire Template name, then select Scheduled in the Type dropdown.
  6. Fill in the rest of the information.
  7. Once done, click Save.

 

Check out this article for more detailed information: Create recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Here's how to turn on the service date:

 

  1. Go to the Gear or Settings ⚙ icon.
  2. Select Account and settings.
  3. Click Sales, In the Sales form content section, hit the Edit pencil icon, then turn on the Service date radio button.
  4. Select Save, then Done.
