In Sage Accounts, recurring entries are a great way to save time. Simply set up any payments or receipts that happen regularly, such as direct debits and standing orders, then you can process them all at the same time. You can even set up a reminder so you don't forget to process them. Once they've ran their course you can then suspend the entries. Read on to find out how.
