This is displayed if Make Recurring has been selected from the 
menu. Specify the interval between recurring transactions.
Specify the following:
For a sale - If the customer pays you at a later date (e.g. from a sales invoice), choose the name of the customer. If the customer pays immediately, choose the name of your bank or petty cash account.

EasyBooks can automatically generate invoice numbers, and can automatically increase the number for each new transaction. If, for example, you enter INV-123-S, EasyBooks determines the next available number (e.g. INV-124-S) and inserts it into Invoice Number.
Do not use digits in Invoice Number if you prefer this feature not to be used.

Each is completed automatically if you have previously entered prices in the stock settings - this may give different prices for different quantities of the product. Changing Quantity recalculates Each, but you can override the amount if you need to.
