I found myself in a situation where I can choose to leave it alone but there’s a voice in my head that keeps nagging me about it.
I’ve had CRON problems with InvoiceNinja, with CRON problems I mean no CRON available (to keep it simple).
So in the beginning I’ve watched everyday the recurring invoices to check when I needed to send one but a few got send much later. Now that this is resolved I wanted to solve those few invoices by sending them manually on the correct date but InvoiceNinja doesn’t let me, I keep getting the message that it’s too early.
Is there a way to solve this without archiving the old ones and creating a new one?
Would changing the date in the DB solve this or is this a no no?
@hillel That’s what I thought but he won’t. I’ve tried clicking on “Email invoice” but because the one last year was sent much later than the starting date he won’t allow it.
For example:
Start date: 24/01/2021
Last sent date: 05/02/2021
Clicking today on “Email invoice”: It’s too soon to create the next recurring invoice, it’s scheduled for 05-02-2022 8:00
Is it possible that an action button could be added to recurring invoices that automatically sets the next send date to today’s date, and then sends the invoice via email immediately?
I think there are many other features missing from recurring invoices such as the action “Skip Next Send Date” to skip the next invoice send date.
I also found the frequency quite limiting, there is no way to send invoices every 6 weeks.
Check out this photo collage of screenshots I took from my old Quickbooks account. There options for recurring invoices are really great. They include everything I have mentioned in this post and more. Is it possible that we could see these options in Invoice Ninja anytime soon?
Any updates on the feasibility of this request? I am really stumped by point 1, unable to set recurring invoices for every 4 months or every 6 weeks etc.
Is there a way that we can just input a custom regex field for setting how often recurring invoices are sent?
Hi thanks for the reply. I made this request over a year ago. Is it possible for myself it manually adjust the frequency field in the MySQL backend with a custom value? I self host.
Thanks.
