Rent is due on the first. The software subscription charges on the 15th. Insurance premium hits quarterly. You could enter these bills manually every time. Or you could set them up once and let them generate automatically, so you never forget that the rent is due and scramble to record it after the fact.

How it works

When the scheduled date arrives:

  2. Status: Open (ready for payment)
  3. You get a notification
  4. Review and pay as normal
You don’t have to remember — it just shows up.

​
Draft mode

If you want to review before the bill goes live:
  1. Enable Create as Draft
  2. Bills generate as drafts
  3. Review and approve each one
  4. Then mark as open
Good for bills where the amount might vary slightly.
