Overview

SalesPad Recurring Sales allows users to create templates for sales documents. These templates, called Document Definitions, may then be used to automatically generate actual sales documents. Recurring sales allows users to create an unlimited number of Document Definitions per customer. Document Definitions can be based on previously created sales documents and are viewed on the Recurring Sales tab in the Customer Card in SalesPad. SalesPad Recurring Sales is useful for service contracts, etc.
