Recurring Purchases

The new Cancel Purchase function provides Users the ability to cancel both Open Term and Fixed Term Recurring Purchases and still preserve the original Recurring Purchase record in the database.

Any previously canceled Open Term Recurring Purchase may easily be Re-activated at a later date.

 

A new Weekly Payment Frequency has been added to the Recurring Purchases Form which provides for the automatic billing (and payment) of Weekly Payment Obligations.

When the Auto Pay procedure is executed, the required set of Recurring Purchase Invoices are created for the entire Month.
The first Invoice will be Dated with the Purchase Day specified, and each subsequent 7 Day Period's Invoice will be Dated as appropriate, until all of the required Invoices are created for that Month.
All Invoices within the set will have the same Invoice Number, but each Invoice Number will have a hyphenated numeric suffix (e.g., 1234-1, 1234-2, 1234-3).
The Due Date for each Invoice within the set will be calculated based the Sale Date assigned and the Vendor's Terms.
