Setting Up Recurring Invoices

I guess that I do not understand how to set up recurring invoices so that the thirdparty receives an invoice email.

Dolibarr v16.0.5

Here are the steps I take:

  1. Make sure that the Invoices and Scheduled Jobs modules are activated.
  2. Make sure that a “Security key for URL to launch cron jobs” for the Scheduled Jobs module has a value.
  3. Create a new standard invoice.
  4. Add a Product to the newly created invoice.
  5. While the Invoice is still in Draft status, click the “Convert Into Template Invoice” button.
  6. Enter a title for the Invoice Template and fill out the “Recurrence” fields.
  7. Visit the Scheduled Jobs page and click the play button for “Generation of recurring invoices (sales invoices)”.
  8. I patiently wait to see if an email get sent out and nothing gets sent out.
  9. So then I add a “Customer invoice contact”.
  10. Then I repeat step 7 and the Latest run input reads “No Recurring template invoice qualified for generation.”

  11. The thirdparty still does not receive an email.
  12. The Invoice template still has 14 more invoices it can get generate. I’m not sure that will happen nor am I expecting any emails to be sent out because they have not been sent out yet.

I’m still stuck and I’m not sure what to do. :frowning_face:
