Check status and retry recurring invoices

You can view the status of scheduled recurring bills in two ways, either by generating the Recurring transaction status report, or by viewing the execution log from the Recurring bills list.

  • Recurring transaction status: Run this report when you want to evaluate the run status of multiple recurring bills and retry failed bills.
  • Execution log: View this when you want to drill down into the status of a single scheduled bill directly from the Recurring bills list.

View status for multiple scheduled bills and retry failures

Run the Recurring transaction status report to see whether scheduled recurring bills were successfully created. You can retry failed jobs or drill down for more information from the report results.

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Reports > Recurring transaction status.

  2. Select a Reporting period.

  3. In Filters, select AP bills as the Transaction type.

  4. To exclude successfully generated runs, select Show failed only.

  5. Select View to generate the report.

    Sage Intacct displays the recurring transactions that were scheduled to run during the reporting period.

  6. For failed recurring transactions, select View error to open the error log.
  7. To try a failed bill run again, select Retry.

    If this generates an error, investigate the problem, then edit the recurring bill to fix it.

  8. For successfully recurring bill runs, select View bill to see the bill that was created.
  9. Select the number in the Recur invoice or doc column to drill down to the recurring bill template.

    If you have edit permissions for recurring bills, you can select Edit and modify the template.

View the execution log for a recurring bill

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All >Bills > Recurring bills.

  2. Select the entry in the Last result column, either Failed or Success.

    Use the Log created on date and Transaction date fields to help you determine for which log entry you want to view the error details.

    This opens the Execution log for the most recent run of the bill schedule. Each run for a recurring bill typically generates two log items:

    • In transit: The recurring bill process is initiated.
    • Success or Failure: The end result, where success means that the recurring bill was created.
  3. If the run failed, select Failure in the Execution status column.

    The error log opens to show details about the error.

  4. To create a PDF of the error log, select Print to...View and download as a PDF file.

Next step: If you need to retry a failed bill, run the Recurring transaction status report.
