Recurring bills in SwiftlyBooks

Bills that come round on a schedule, such as rent or a service contract, copied on their day.

Set one up

  1. Press New schedule, and choose The bill to repeat. Or press Make recurring on the bill itself.
  2. Give it a Name, how often it comes under Every, and the First on day. Fill in Last on only for one that ends.
  3. Each copy waits as a draft for someone to approve, unless you tick Approve each one, rather than leave a draft.
  4. Press Set it up.

Look after it

  • Run now makes what has fallen due at once, rather than waiting for the daily run.
  • Pause stops it for a while, and Resume starts it again.
  • Stop ends it. The bills it made stay.

Good to know

  • Each copy is dated its own day, and falls due by the supplier's terms.
  • What stopped a copy, such as a closed month or a missing rate, shows in amber. It tries again on its next run.
  • With a second approver in Settings, every copy waits as a draft for someone to approve.
