Turn a recurring bill off or on

You can start or stop a recurring bill schedule as needed. For example, if a contract is put on hold, you can turn off a schedule to temporarily stop Intacct from automatically creating bills. When you’re ready to restart the recurring schedule, you can turn the schedule back on.

If you want to stop a recurring bill from running and you do not intend to restart it in the future, consider deleting the bill template instead.

This topic describes how to activate or deactivate a bill schedule by editing it. You can also turn a bill schedule off directly from the Recurring bills list, which sets the status to Inactive.

Permissions Recurring Bills: List, View, Edit

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

  2. Find the recurring bill.
  3. Select More actions > Edit at the end of the row.
  4. To stop a recurring bill from running without deleting it, select Inactive from the Status dropdown.
  5. To restart a recurring bill that was previously turned off:
    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 bill.

      This prevents an inadvertent extra recurrence of the transaction.

      For example, a bill is created on May 12. On May 13, you decide to change it to run on the 16th. You would set the next execution date to June 16 to avoid double payments in May.
