InvoiceWhen it ends
- On a date
- The series stops after the end date you set.
- After N runs
- Say 12 runs for a one-year contract — then it completes. Extend the date or the count and it carries on.
- Open-ended
- No end at all, until you pause or delete it.

Documents
Recurring invoices that write themselves.
Retainers, maintenance, subscriptions — set the customer, the lines and the rhythm once. Invoice creates every invoice on time, as a draft to check or issued and emailed straight away.
- Weekly to yearly — at the hour you choose
- On each run: a draft, issued, or issued & sent
- Pause, resume — or let it end on its own
How it works
Set it up once — it runs on its own.
Three decisions, then the series takes care of itself.
- 01
Create the series
Customer, line items, payment term and texts — like an invoice. Then the rhythm: how often, from when, at what hour.
- 02
Choose what each run does
Create a draft you check first, issue the invoice, or issue it and email it to your customer — all automatically. A run that can’t be issued correctly stays a draft for you.
- 03
It runs on its own
At the chosen hour, in your time zone. The next run is always in the list — pause it, resume it or let it end.
Your rhythm
From every week to once a year.
Six fixed rhythms, started on the day and hour you pick — and ended when you want.
- Weekly
- Every 2 weeks
- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Every 6 months
- Yearly
Month ends, handled
Started on the 31st? Short months get their last day — and the series goes back to the 31st afterwards.
Service period
Every invoice states what it bills.
Each generated invoice names its service period — the month, quarter or year it covers. You decide per series whether that is the coming period or the past one.
- On the invoice, in the line “Billing for the period from … to …” of your opening text, and in the e-invoice
- New series start “In advance”
- Older series show “Set service period” until you choose — nothing changes behind your back
Safe
Automatic — without surprises.
Each period exactly once
Every period creates one invoice — never two, even if the scheduler runs twice.
Pausing doesn’t bill later
Periods missed while you paused are skipped — resuming never sends a pile of back invoices.
Customer gone? It pauses
If the customer is deleted or archived, the series pauses itself instead of failing — and catches up on the missed periods once you resume it.
Changes from the next run
Change lines, prices or texts any time — the next invoice uses the new version.
Real invoices
Every run is a normal invoice: e-invoice where it applies, payments and reminders as usual.
Everything logged
Each run says plainly what it did — created, left as a draft, issued but not sent — in your workspace activity. Invoice and series link to each other.
Not complete? A draft
Address missing, a tax choice that doesn’t fit, an e-invoice detail missing or your document allowance used up — the run stays a draft for you, and the series keeps going.
The period on every invoice
Each invoice states the service period it bills — in advance or in arrears, as you set it.
Never 0 % by accident
A line from a product without its own rate gets your default rate.
FAQ
Questions about recurring invoices
Short answers to what people ask us most.
Are recurring invoices sent automatically?
If you want them to be. For each series you choose what a run does: create a draft you check first, issue the invoice, or issue it and email it to your customer.
What happens when I pause a series?
Nothing is created while it is paused. When you resume a series you paused yourself, the periods you missed are skipped — it simply continues with the next regular run. If UNENO paused it because the customer was no longer available, resuming bills the missed periods.
What happens with a series that starts on the 31st?
In shorter months it runs on the last day of the month — the 28th or 29th in February, the 30th in April — and goes back to the 31st in the months that have one.
Can I change prices or line items later?
Yes, any time — the change applies from the next run. Invoices already created stay as they are. A price change in your product catalogue is not copied into existing series; update the series itself.
How do I end a series?
Set an end date or a maximum number of runs and it completes on its own. Or pause it, or delete it — invoices it already created are kept. Raise the end date or the number of runs of a completed series and it carries on from the next run — without billing the gap.
Where do I see what a series has done?
Every created invoice appears in your invoice list as usual, marked “From schedule #1” — and its page links back to the series. Each run is recorded in your workspace activity log and says plainly what it did: created, left as a draft because it couldn’t be issued, or issued but not sent.
Does every invoice state its service period?
Yes, once you set it for the series: “In advance” bills the coming period (a run on 1 November → 1–30 November), “In arrears” the past one (→ 1–31 October). The invoice shows it, the line “Billing for the period from … to …” of your opening text fills in, and the e-invoice carries it. New series start “In advance”; older ones show “Set service period” until you choose.
