How to create recurring invoice that starts today?

[john87]

I am unable to get a recurring invoice to start on the day it is created.

For instance, if I create an annually recurring invoice today (Sep 16) and set both the "interval" and "start date" to today's date, it still won't send out today. If I look at the invoice under Recurring Transactions, it shows next year under "NEXT DATE".  How do I get the invoice to send out today?
