Standing Invoice Maintenance

---

Use the Standing Invoice Maintenance form to set up invoice templates to represent transactions for a supplier that repeat periodically. For example, if you send a supplier the same invoice every month for the same items, it saves time to set up a standing invoice to represent this transaction so the invoice does not have to be entered each month. Examples may include rent or lease payments, insurance costs, and the like.

Standing invoices are updated for changes to tax rates. This occurs when you run the Update Standing Invoices process.

Invoices set up using this form are identical to normal invoices, with the exception that some additional details are entered so Greentree Desktop can determine when it is applicable to create the invoice using the Updating Standing Invoices process. Once invoices have been created in this form, the Updating Standing Invoices form creates the invoices using the date and frequency parameters assigned here.

Frequency type

Select the frequency type for the standing invoice. This is used to calculate the Next action date for the invoice.

The frequency types are: Day, Last day of month, Last day of period, Month, Week, and Year.

Frequency

Select the frequency for the standing invoice. This is used with the Frequency type to calculate the next action date for the invoice. For example, if the frequency type is Week and the frequency is 2, then Greentree Desktop expects this invoice to be processed once every two weeks.

If the invoice was created on 15/03/19, Greentree Desktop increments the Next Action Date for this standing invoice to 29/03/19, and makes it available for selection on or after that date next time you access the Update Standing Invoices form.

Inactive

Select this option to retain the standing order detail, but no longer want to include the order in the update process.

Recalculate and update price

Select this option to recalculate and update the invoice cost when standing invoice transactions are selected and processed using the Update Standing Invoices form.

Currency/Fixed

Select this if the exchange rate is to be set at a fixed rate for the standing invoice.

Start/End dates

These dates default to today's date but you can override it to any dates beyond today. The invoices that you select appear on the Update Standing Invoices form if the current date is between the Start date and the End date specified for the standing invoice.

Next action date

This date is calculated using the Start date, Frequency, and Frequency type. You can change the date. If the next action date for a standing invoice is equal to, or before the current date, the invoice is available for inclusion using the Update Standing Invoices form.

You can copy a standing invoice by clicking the Copy icon on the toolbar. This clears the header detail, leaving only default information, and retains the line detail of the invoice selected when you copied it.

Note: To print a report of standing invoices that have been set-up (with options to filter based on specified criteria), use the Standing Invoice Listing form.
