About recurring vendor invoices

A recurring vendor invoice is an invoice that you expect to pay on a regular basis, such as every month. You set up a recurring invoice so that you can then quickly create it for the month (or some other time period) and pay it. In this way, you avoid entering much of the same information repeatedly.

Working with recurring vendor invoices is simple:

	Do this	Here	To accomplish this
1.	Set security for recurring invoices	Company > Security > Company tab and Manage tab	Set security so that you can set up and create recurring vendor invoices.
2.	Set up recurring invoices	Company > Recurring > Vendor Invoices	Set up recurring invoices to occur on the same date each month or on a specified date. You can also choose to set up a recurring invoice so that Ajera automatically pays it. The invoice then appears as paid in Manage > Vendor Invoices with no outstanding balance.
3.	Create recurring invoices	Manage > Recurring > Vendor Invoices	When you create recurring invoices, you select the time period for the invoices you want to create. Ajera then displays a list of recurring invoices you set up for that time period. You confirm which invoices you want to create (and those invoices then appear in Manage > Vendor Invoices > Existing tab, and in Manage > Vendor Payments). At this time, you can also make any one-time changes to an invoice.
4.	Pay invoices you created as recurring invoices	Manage > Vendor Invoices > Existing tab Manage > Vendor Payments	You now pay the recurring invoice as you would any other vendor invoice. If you selected to automatically pay an invoice, you skip this step.
