Recurring expenses in SwiftlyBooks

Spending that comes round on a schedule, such as rent, internet and subscriptions, copied on its day.

Set one up

  1. Press New schedule, and choose The expense to repeat. Or press Make recurring on the expense 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 expenses it made stay.

Good to know

  • Each copy is dated its own day, and paid from the same wallet.
  • 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.
