Invoice remark
Range of recurrence
Starting invoice date	If the Limit recurrence checkbox is selected, this field defaults to the current Accounts Payable processing date, but changes are allowed.
End by	Select this option to enter a stop date for the recurring invoice. For example, if you want the invoice to stop as of January 2, 2012, enter 010212 in this field. This date can exceed the maximum Accounts Payable processing date, but cannot be earlier than the date entered in the Starting invoice date field.
End after	Select this option to stop the recurring invoice after a specified number of instances. For example, if you want the invoice to stop after four recurrences, enter 4 in this field. Entry in this field must be a positive and whole number. Note: If the End by option is selected, then the End after ___ invoices field is blank. If a number is entered in this field, when the Recurring Invoice Update is run, Spectrum compares the maximum invoice count recorded in this field with the number of invoices already created. If the invoices created count is equal to or greater than the maximum set in this field, Spectrum sets the recurring invoice status to Inactive.
Payment due calculation	Select either the From invoice date or From 1st of next month option from the radio group to determine if the payment due date is calculated based on the day of the month entered in the previous field.

For example, if rent is due on the first day of every month, enter "1".
Discount due calculation	Select to determine any discounts calculated from the invoice date, or select to determine any discounts calculated from the first of the month. After pressing Enter, enter the number of days to be used in calculating the discount. For example, 3 would mean that a discount may be taken if paid within three days of the invoice date. Also enter the discount percent.
