Editing Recurring Payment Schedules that Have Not Started

You can edit Recurring Billing schedules and Payment Plan schedules prior to the schedule Start date. (This includes one-time payments entered for a future date.) The edit function is available for schedule statuses of “Active” and “Suspended.”

NOTE: When you make a change to the amount, frequency, or payment account on a recurring payment schedule your customer will be sent an email confirming the change. Changes to other areas such as email settings, invoice number or email addresses will not result in a change email being sent.

The email sent is “Edited Recurring Schedule—Bill Payment” for recurring billing schedules, or the “Edited Recurring Schedule— Payment Plan” email for payment plan schedules. (See Email Preferences and Templates in Chapter 8 for instructions on how to edit email templates.)

If you change the schedule Start date to the current date, when you save the edited schedule a payment will be processed immediately and you will no longer be able to make changes to the full schedule.

For Payment Plans this means that no further edits will be allowed.
