Recurring invoices
Create invoice schedules that generate invoices automatically at your chosen frequency. Useful for retainers, subscriptions, and ongoing service agreements.
- Flexible frequencies: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly
- Duration options: set an end date, a maximum invoice count, or run indefinitely
- Auto-send: optionally send invoices automatically on their scheduled date
- Pre-generation: invoices are created 14 days ahead for review and customization
AI-powered line items
When enabled, Product Intelligence updates date references in your line item descriptions for each new invoice period.
Example:
- "Services for January 2026" → "Services for February 2026"
- "Q1 2026 Retainer" → "Q2 2026 Retainer"
Three modes:
- Auto Apply: updates are applied automatically
- Show: review and approve suggestions before sending
- Hide: disable AI suggestions entirely
Configure this in Settings → AI.
Series management
Each recurring series includes:
- Visual timeline of past and upcoming invoices
- Pause, resume, or cancel at any time
- Edit series settings (frequency, items, end date)
- Reschedule options: "this invoice only" or "this and all future"
Custom invoice prefixes
Invoice number prefixes now support any format you prefer:
INV-→ INV-0001QB/→ QB/0001INV-DEP-→ INV-DEP-0001
The prefix is fully customizable in your invoice template settings.
