Join nowI want to have rental invoices generated and sent out automatically at the beginning of each month through Quickbooks online. I created a recurring template in QBO with prices, etc. Is there somewhere I can put the rental period and it will automatically change when the system generates it and sends it out each month?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello, LL2010. It's great that you created a recurring invoice to automatically send out your invoice at the beginning of each month.
When you create recurring invoices, you can utilize the Term feature to track the rental period. You can set the invoice date as the starting point for the rental period, and the counting will begin from that day.
For example: If you set the recurring invoice start date to 11/01/2023 and the term period is 7 days, your customer must pay it within the 7 days or before the rental period ends immediately after receiving the invoice.
After the first invoice, QuickBooks will automatically generate a new transaction to your customer, while also adjusting the date according to your setup.
However, if you are looking for a specific field to enter the rental period when creating a recurring invoice, we currently do not have that option. I recommend sending this feedback to our product developer by clicking on the Gear icon and selecting Feedback.
Lastly, if you are referring to the option of automatically changing the term when the system generates and sends the invoice each month, we will need to manually adjust it. You can include this suggestion as well.
Here's how you can manually update the term:
