Pause a recurring bill schedule when supplier terms change

Stop future draft creation while retaining the generated history.

Updated 2026-11-11

A recurring bill schedule should be reviewed when the supplier agreement ends or its terms change. Use the schedule's available pause or end controls according to the intended future behavior. Confirm the saved state rather than assuming that closing the editor stopped generation.

Review existing generated drafts separately. Pausing future occurrences does not establish that earlier drafts were canceled, that issued bills were reversed or that supplier payments stopped. Open Run history and inspect the relevant saved documents.

When resuming after missed occurrences, deliberately choose the available catch-up or skip behavior. Review the affected dates before creating a backlog of drafts for charges that may no longer be valid. Check the frozen source terms and reporting timezone as well.

If a replacement schedule is needed, retain the ended schedule's terms and history for reference and avoid overlapping occurrence dates. Each new draft still needs current source evidence and issuance review. The goal is a clear calendar of supported supplier obligations, with no assumption that a recurring draft proves an automatic payment or renewed contract.
