I end up putting bogus information into the fields in the recurring vendor bill just to be able to use them. Let's take a phone bill - we get it every month, the coding is exactly the same every month, all I have to do is go into the Vendor Bill before it is posted and change the dollar amount. But to set it up, I have to enter bogus information into the useless and unnecessary fields
Remaining Balance - I have to enter something so I enter 999,999,999.00
Start Date - I have to enter something, so I enter 01/01/2000
Stop Date - I have to enter something, so I enter 12/31/2100
Remaining Number of Invoices - 999,999
Original Balance - 999,999,999.99
They designed this whole function around loan payments, but for the majority of us, that would represent about .0001% of the number of entries we have to make every month, so we would be looking to use this simplify a lot more of our entries.
And like the journal entries, we also want to select the Recurring Vendor Bills that we want to generate. We want to see them on a list before they are generated. Right now, we are completely blind when we click that button the Generate Invoices. More often than not, we get surprised with vendor bills that we did not intend on generating. Last time I did it, I ended up doing a dozen or so that someone else set up and screwed up her whole process and how she likes to do things.
BTW - We also need the Recurring function for Customer Invoices.
