The customer is looking for an option to enhance and automate the Batch processing of the Accounts receivable>Invoices>Recurring invoices>Generate recurring invoices function.
What they are looking for is when they submit the ‘Generate recurring invoice’ task via a Batch (that is setup with a ‘Recurrence’ timing), they’d like the ‘Invoice date’ to be updated for each batch ‘run’ and get it matched to the Batch ‘run’ date.
It’s also desired that they can then have reports to verify which recurring invoices have been generated for each batch run.
In the current design, it is possible to submit to batch one occurrence but the batch parameters will not update on the next recurrence.
For example - if the original 'Invoice date' when the Batch was pushed was '02/02/2022, the next time the batch job runs (on the next occurrence), that Invoice date will remain 02/02/2022 and no new invoices will thus be generated.
Comments
Agree. I have a customer wanting the same thing. They feel this should be an automated process, but the batch job doesn't work the way it appears.Until it is able to regenerate these FTI with the ability to utilise date formulas, the option to configure a recurrence should be removed. Having the recurrence on the form implies that it will automatically create these as per the time interval when the functionality is not in place yet.
