Recurring billing
RegisterWhich customers are billed on a cycle, how much, and what is next.
The billing nobody remembers until it is late
Retainers, service agreements and monthly charges are easy to agree and easy to forget. This is the standing list: who, how much, how often, and when the next one is due.
It bills nothing
No invoice is raised, no payment is taken and no card or bank details are held. What this does is remind a person what to do.
The cycle is your sentence
How often is written in your words rather than picked from a list, because real arrangements rarely fit one. Nothing here works the next date out for you — you type it, and that is what makes this a list anybody can keep with no account.
When you want it worked out for you
Recurring billing in Finance takes the cycle once and resolves the actual dates — monthly on the first, every second Monday, the last day of the month — then raises each invoice with a due date from your payment terms. You see the whole schedule and what each one will be for before anything is switched on. This register stays what it is: the version that needs no account.
Alongside this: Invoice · Service agreement · Customer statement
A schedule you entered. CompliMaint raises no invoice, sends nothing, collects no payment, holds no card or bank details and calculates no due date or legal deadline. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Does it send invoices?
- No. It raises no invoice, sends nothing and collects no money. It is a list of what you have agreed to bill and when.
- Does it take card payments?
- No. There is no card number, no bank detail and no payment processing anywhere in this product.
- Does it work out the next due date?
- Not in this register — the next date is the one you type, and nothing here calculates a recurrence or raises anything. That is deliberate: it is a list you keep, and it works with no account. CompliMaint's Finance application does work out recurring dates: you describe the cycle once, it resolves the real billing dates, and it raises each invoice with a due date from your payment terms. This register is the free, manual version of that.
- How is this different from a service agreement?
- The agreement sets out the work and the terms. This is about the invoice timing inside an agreement that is already running.
- Can I describe an unusual cycle?
- Yes. How often is a sentence you write, not a dropdown — “quarterly in advance, first working day” is a perfectly good answer.
