How do I skip one recurring invoice?

If you want to skip one recurring invoice, do this:

1. Open the recurring invoice and click Deactivate. Nothing is generated while it is inactive.
2. After the date you wanted to skip, click Activate.

Activating works out the next run date from the schedule, so the rhythm continues as before — a monthly schedule that ran on the 1st still runs on the 1st. Run dates that passed while it was inactive are skipped, and invoices are not generated retroactively.

Because invoices are generated at around 8:00 in the morning, to skip the invoice due that same day you have to deactivate the recurring invoice before 8:00.

Deactivating does not change the schedule's end condition either: a schedule set to expire after 12 invoices still has all 12 to go, with a gap in the middle.

If you need the opposite — one extra invoice outside the schedule — use Generate now instead. See Setting up recurring invoices.
