Recurring invoices

Is it possible to set up recurring invoices in the system, which will auto generate and
perhaps prompt for action on a date to send it?

I run a sort of service as a subscription business, where people pay me 6-monthly from their joining date, but keeping track of upcoming invoices is a pain and will only get worse as more clients come on board. Ideally I'd like the system to automate this for me, so it's all in one place without me having to think! :)

Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee,

Sorry no, Solar Accounts doesn't support recurring invoices. I'll record your email address to be notified in case we add this in future.

Regards

Just for the record, this would be really helpful for me also for the same reason. It would probably put the icing on the cake, so to speak, as the last software I was using had this facility, but let me down on the reporting/accounting side. I am currently using the trial version with a view to upgrading.

I believe this has been requested in the past quite a bit as i remember looking for this when i bought it last year. It would be really useful as i love the software, but because of my need for recurring invoicing am looking at other software now.

Me too.
I manage rental properties. Every week I raise an "invoice" for the weekly rent for 15 properties. No big problem in doing this as I use the copy facility to enter the weekly rents due but it would save a bit of work if this could be done automatically.

Hi
I agree that it would be very useful. I run a rental (houses) business and it would be great to raise invoices automatically for each tenant.

I keep checking on this. I have a number of customers that I invoice monthly for services. Please please try to add this feature.

I vote for the recurring invoice feature. I use a third party software invoice package which generates monthly invoices automaticaly and have to manually enter the transactions into Solar which is a pain. Please please can you add recurring invoice features to Solar?

Hi Dean,

We'll record your vote for this feature, but I'm afraid we cannot make promises about future development of Solar Accounts.

Regards,

Hi There,

Just a quick message to let you know that Solar Accounts now supports regular payment frequencies such as “Every 3 Months” or “Every 2 Weeks”, etc. You can upgrade for free here:
