A scheduled invoice is not an actual invoice; it's more like an order for the system to automatically create an invoice for a scheduled time. Scheduled invoices are a convenient way to reduce manual work for invoices you create and send out regularly.
You can filter the list based on different criteria, just use the Filter button.
Scheduled invoices can be sent manually or automatically.
Note! The envelope icon in the list view indicates that the scheduled invoice is sent out automatically.
Here's how you can create a scheduled invoice:
- Go to Invoice list
- Click on Scheduled invoices
- Click on New
- Fill in the invoice details and save it
In addition, you can create a scheduled invoice from an existing invoice. To do so, open the invoice, click the Create from invoice... button, and select Create scheduled invoice.
The important detail to focus on is the Issue interval – how often the scheduled invoice should be created.
When you pick a recurring time, an option to choose a Date of last issue will appear. You can either select the option Indefinite, in which case the invoice will be created indefinitely. Or Pick a date when the invoice will be sent out for the last time (for example, the invoice is created every month until the end of the year).
You can also choose if you'd like the invoice to be sent out automatically. Just tick the option. You can then fill in the e-mail message for this invoice and add your signature.
If the option to send the invoice automatically is not selected, then the invoice is still created at the selected time and appears in your invoices list. You can send it out manually from there if you wish. Just select the invoice from the list and click Send...
Note! Make sure to set up your SMTP settings in order to successfully send out invoices from Scoro. For more details, please check our article about SMTP settings.
