aACE in Action: Recurring Rent Payment
Suppose a business pays monthly rent for their office space. To streamline their rent payments, the business decides to create an aACE recurring purchase.
The business creates a new recurring purchase record. They enter the vendor on the Recurring Purchase Overview tab. Then, on the Configuration tab, they enter the details for the purchase record to be generated every month. This includes the title of the purchase record itself, any expenses that should be included on the purchase, and automation preferences. They would like aACE to auto-open the purchase when it generates the purchase record, so they enable this preference.
On the Scheduling & Termination tab, they set the scheduling to once a month for an indefinite period of time. Once they save and open the recurring purchase record, aACE automatically generates a purchase record once a month for their rent, making sure to include any expenses specified. Because of their configured preferences, aACE automatically opens the purchase record once it has been generated. The recurring purchase will not end unless manually stopped, as the business did not configure the termination.
Recurring purchases is just one feature of aACE that helps you automate your recurring transactions. To read more about automating transactions, see Handle a Customer’s Subscription Order with aACE’s Recurring Transactions.
