What Is a Recurring Receipt?
A recurring receipt is a scheduled instruction that automatically creates receipts at preset intervals. For example:
-
Set up a $80 monthly home insurance expense from Jan 1, 2018 to Dec 31, 2018.
-
On save (assuming it’s January 1 or later), Foreceipt generates the first $80 expense.
-
On February 1 and again on March 1, monthly entries are created automatically.
-
Once active, these recurring entries appear in both the web and mobile versions of Foreceipt.
