Prepare recurring bill drafts from saved supplier terms

Repeat reviewed document terms without automatically issuing or paying them.

Updated 2026-11-11

A recurring native bill schedule uses a saved draft as its source and retains frozen terms. Each occurrence creates an unissued draft. It does not automatically approve the supplier charge, post the bill or initiate a payment.

Open the recurring bills workspace and choose a saved draft whose vendor, currency, lines and terms have been reviewed. Set the schedule name, cadence, first occurrence and due-after days, then inspect the calendar and number preview before activation.

Confirm the saved reporting timezone and current book requirements. Later source-draft edits do not automatically replace the schedule's frozen terms. If the supplier agreement changes, review the schedule through its supported edit process before generating more documents.

Supporting attachments are not copied into every occurrence, so review the evidence for each generated bill. Use Run history to open the saved document and complete its current mapping and issuance checks. Keep the recurring schedule's draft creation separate from confirmation that the supplier actually delivered or that the amount is payable.
