Turn a recurring AP purchase invoice off or on

Start or stop a recurring AP purchase invoice schedule as needed. For example, if a contract is put on hold, turn off a schedule to temporarily stop Sage Intacct from creating AP purchase invoices. When you’re ready to restart the recurring schedule, turn the schedule back on.

Alternatively, turn an AP purchase invoice schedule off directly from the Recurring AP purchase invoices list, which sets the status to Inactive.

To stop a recurring AP purchase invoice from running that you do not intend to restart it in the future, consider deleting the AP purchase invoice template instead.

1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > AP purchase invoices > Recurring AP purchase invoices.

2. Find the recurring bill.
3. Select Edit at the end of the row.
4. To stop a recurring AP purchase invoice from running without deleting it, select Inactive from the Status dropdown.
5. To restart a recurring AP purchase invoice that was previously turned off, do one of the following:
   1. Select Active from the Status dropdown.
   1. On the Schedule tab, set the Next execution date to the date you want to create next AP purchase invoice.

      This prevents an inadvertent extra recurrence of the transaction.

      For example, an AP purchase invoice is created on May 12. On May 13, you decide to change it to run on May 16. Set the next execution date to June 16 to avoid double payments in May.

6. Select Save.

1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > AP purchase invoices > Recurring AP purchase invoices.

2. Select Edit next to the appropriate AP purchase invoice.
3. To stop a recurring AP purchase invoice from running without deleting it, select Inactive from the Status dropdown.
