Recurring Transactions
Overview
- Recurring transactions are scheduled financial activities that need to be managed and executed regularly, such as monthly subscription payments or periodic bill settlements.
- These payments occur at predefined intervals but require oversight or manual initiation for execution.
- QuickEasy has the functionality to flag transactions as recurring to assist in managing such requirements.
How to Flag a Transaction as Recurring
- Navigate to Main Menu > Accounting > Ledger.
- Use the Search bar and filters to find the transaction, and double-click it to open it.
- Check the Recurring checkbox in the top-right corner.
How to Create a Transaction from a Recurring Transaction
- Navigate to Main Menu > Accounting > Ledger.
- Click Menu > Open Recurring to display all recurring transactions.
- Double-click the recurring transaction (used as a template).
- A new (duplicate) transaction is created and opened on the left panel.
- Modify the transaction as required.
- Once updated and complete, click Done.
Info
The latest transaction created is set to the recurring transaction.
What Happens When a Transaction Is Created
- The recurring transaction is copied, with its items and status, to a new transaction of the same Transaction Type.
- The new transaction is dated today, or on the end date of the Ledger's date filter if that date is earlier than today.
- The new transaction becomes the recurring transaction: it is flagged as recurring and the flag is removed from the transaction it was copied from.

Managing Recurring Transactions
- To avoid duplicate transactions for the same period, use the Date field in the Recurring module to determine if a transaction is already created for the required period.
- The Date field is updated as new recurring transactions are created.
