Manage Recurring Invoices

From the Recurring Invoices list, you can:

Auto-Generate Invoices

Enable Auto-Generate Recurring in Settings to have Manifest automatically create draft invoices when the scheduled date arrives. This runs in the background — no need to open the app.

• When enabled, invoices are generated as drafts on the scheduled date
• The next invoice date advances automatically based on the frequency
• Generated invoices are linked to their recurring parent for tracking

Available Frequencies

• Bi-weekly — Every 14 days
• Monthly — Same date each month
• Quarterly — Every 3 months
• Yearly — Same date each year
