Hi Crbookkeeping,

By design, you can do recurring transaction for Make Other Payment, but not Pay Purhcase Inovice due to the fact that the amount to be paid is based on the input from another journal window. 

You do not need to create 12 invoices.  After you create the $1200.00 invoice, you only need to open the payment windows (Pay purhcase invoice) in a monthy basis, key in $100.00 and then click post.  The next time you open the payment journal again with that vendor, you can see this invoice with the Original Amount and Amount Owing still until the invoice is paid in full. 

Hope this helps.

I realize that it can be done as you indicate... the beauty of a recurring entry  - it automatically tracks the date of the next payment - and it visually shows me if I forgot to record a payment

I don't follow your make other payment vs pay purchase invoice argument, in both cases, the amount to be paid is entered on the actual form, not another journal window

oh well, I just need to create a reminder task

you could also just go ahead and enter all the payments now that you can up to your fiscal yearend date.

you would enter the payments one by one like Keith suggests, it just transfers the need to remember from next month to next fiscal year

I use the vendor memo tab to record the task

under user preferences, I show the daily task manager when I change session date

and now, when I change the date, I get a list of what needs done
