##### Enabling Recurrence

Check the **Recurring** checkbox to activate the recurring options.

Once enabled, configure the recurrence schedule:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Repeat every** | Enter a number and select a unit: Days, Weeks, Months, or Years |
| **Cycles** | The number of times the invoice repeats. Leave empty for **infinite** recurrence |

**Examples:**

- Bill monthly with no end date → `Repeat every: 1 Month` / `Cycles: empty`
- Bill weekly for 10 weeks → `Repeat every: 1 Week` / `Cycles: 10`
- Bill quarterly for 1 year → `Repeat every: 3 Months` / `Cycles: 4`
