Recurring Invoices Occurrences

Hello,

I know this may sound like a very simple question but we have not been able to source the answer from anywhere else. When setting a recurring invoice we are adding the information to the necessary areas such as frequency etc – when setting the Occurrences, does this figure account for the invoice being sent out that day? For example, we set this number to 3 expecting the system to send out 3 invoices but it went on to send a 4th. Does this number exclude the first invoice being sent out that day, so to send 3 invoices I would have to set this number to 2? The 2 being additional invoices being sent out after the one being sent the same day?

I hope that makes sense. If you could please get back to me as soon as is possible I would be very grateful.

IIRC it is the number to be sent automatically.

So if you create an invoice and base a profile on it then the occurrences are in addition to the invoice.

On the other hand if you create a profile from scratch to start at a future date then the number of occurrences is the number sent.

Hi @AndyD

If you create a recurring invoice today with a start date of today, then the first invoice generated will count towards the occurrences.

For example, I have an invoice set up that started yesterday to repeat on a weekly basis for 2 occurrences. This is now set to expire next week, on it’s 2nd and last occurrence:

Hope that helps
