[SL] putting a recurring transaction in the future

[Kevin B. <kb...@fr...>]

Hi,

Just a quick question.

Say I need to set up a recurring transaction - and the first invoice is 
due to go out in the future.

I.e. I want to create an invoice for the 1st September 2008 - and then I 
want to send out the same invoice every year with the next one being on 
the 1st September 2009.

Do I build up an invoice for 01/09/2008 - click on 'Schedule' - and then 
set the schedule 'startdate' to 01/09/2009 - click 'save' - then post 
the invoice.  Obviously, I'd have to remember to 'manually' email out 
the invoice on the 01/09/2008.

Or do I:

Build up an invoice for 01/09/2008 - click on 'Schedule' - and then set 
the schedule 'startdate' to 01/09/2008 (note the 2008 - same as the 
invoice date) - click 'save' - then post the invoice.

I take it  that the system will automatically send out an invoice on 
01/09/2008 - but I'm worried that the schedule will create a new invoice 
which will be a duplicate of the first for that date.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
