Overview

Your regular financial bank payments can be handled automatically as recurring bank payments. Let's say you have to pay rent every month. You can just set up a recurring payment and the system will create the required payment on the correct dates based upon the settings on the recurring bank payment. In addition, weekly payments can also be automated.

If you are not using automated bank reconciliation import or if you can't get the bank to set up a direct debit to handle your regular payment requirement, then you would use this feature to create the payment from within Readysell.

   You need to know how often this payment recurs and what type of recurrence rules best suits the transaction in question.

   Eg if rent is to be paid every 15th day of every Month and the Value is always the same amount, then you would set up the recurrence rule on the payment to be as follows :

   Automatic Posted; Every Month; Day of the Month; Until what day/mm/yy and click on Save. The task will run nightly and the payment will be generated on the 15th of every month with the date, gl account, value and status of posted.

   Eg if rent is to be paid every 15th of every month and the value is always different every month, then you would set up the recurrence rule on the payment to be as follows:

   Automatic UnPosted; Every Month; Day of the Month; Until what day/mm/yy and click on Save. The system will generate the payment and leave it with a status of Open so that you can make the appropriate changes to the bank payment before finalising it yourself.
   
   If you have multiple lines on recurring payment, you may wish to set up the general ledger accounts and add a value of 0.01.
   Ensure that the Recurrence type = Unposted and set up the remaining rules.
   Once the recurring payment is generated, it will have a status of Open. You can add the correct values to each line on the payment and ensure it netts to the value on the bank statement then finalise it.
   This works well if you are using Manual Entry of Salary and wages that vary weekly or monthly.
