TurboCASH 5.2 - Business Class - Online Help

In addition to the Repeating invoices facility where you may select Invoices from the Invoice history which occur frequently, or on a regular basis (e.g. every month) and to set them as repeating invoices, you may also schedule repeating invoices as an event on the Calendar. 

You may select to generate Invoices for selected Invoices from the Invoice History List to one or many Debtor accounts. 

Once selected Invoices are generated, TurboCASH5.2 will generate Invoice numbers and the transactions will be copied into the normal Invoice document for the selected debtor or debtors. 

To check and /or edit these Invoices you need to access the Invoices .

Finally, you need to update (post) the Invoices for the selected debtors to the ledger. This feature saves you the extra work of entering these Invoices each month.
