Recurring vouchers managementإدارة السندات المتكررة

Recurring vouchers management, under General ledger, lists the company's repeating voucher schedules, one row per schedule. It appears under General ledger only in a company that has recurring vouchers switched on. If you do not see it there, ask whoever administers your company's settings.

1. The list

The columns are Number, Description, Type, Duration, Date, Stopped and Count.

2. The ribbon

The ribbon carries Refresh, Edit, Preview, Reports and Search, with Close on the far side. Reports has an arrow under it.

3. Setting one up from a voucher

A schedule is not built on this screen. It is built on the voucher it repeats. Take a contract you bill once but earn month by month: book one journal voucher for a single month's share, save it, then open that saved voucher again and press Recurring transactions on its ribbon. Libra asks how to repeat it.

The dialog carries Number, Next date, Description and Count, then a choice of how the vouchers are generated - Fixed date or Fixed period - and under it an On box for the day, read as On (day) Of every month.

Set Count to the repeats still to come, not to the length of the contract. A twelve-month contract whose first month you have just booked by hand needs 11.

For Fixed date, prefer a day from 1 to 28. Months are not the same length, so a 29th, a 30th or a 31st does not fall in every one of them, and a day inside the first 28 always does. Fixed period works differently: it counts a fixed number of days from one voucher to the next, which drifts across the calendar as the months pass.

Save, and the schedule appears as a row on the list above, with its own Type, Duration, Date and Count.
