How to Create a New Schedule

The Scheduler feature enables Balabook users to automate the recurring creation of financial documents by duplicating existing source documents on a defined cadence. This eliminates repetitive manual work for businesses that issue the same invoices, bills, expenses, or journal entries on a regular basis (e.g., monthly retainers, recurring subscriptions, periodic expenses).

How to Create a New Schedule

  1. Create a New Schedule
    Click the New Schedule button located in the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. General Information
    • Enter the Schedule Name.
    • Select the Document Type.
    • Choose the Source Document. This will serve as the reference for all future schedules created from it.
  3. Schedule Configuration
    • Select the Interval: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
      • Daily: Specify the First Run Date.
      • Weekly: Select the Day of the Week and the First Run Date.
      • Monthly: Select the Day of the Month and the First Run Date.
      • Yearly: Select the Date and the First Run Date.
    • Choose when the schedule should end:
      • Never
      • After a Number of Iterations
      • On a Specific Date
  4. Automation Options (at the bottom of the form)
    • Auto-approve if applicable: Automatically approve duplicated documents for types that support approval (e.g., Invoice, Credit Note, Estimate, Expense, Transaction).
    • Automatically send emails if applicable: Automatically dispatch emails for document types that support it (e.g., Invoice, Credit Note, Estimate). Emails will only be sent once the document is approved.
