How to get your invoices generated every day automatically
Sync Tree Previous Home Home Next

To schedule a recurring task to automatically generate your invoices, you will need to download the automatic invoice generation script from the nBill website, and set up a CRON job (or equivalent if using another scheduling program).

The automatic invoice generation script is made up of 2 parts. You have to edit the first part of the script file before it will work because you need to enter your CRON authorisation token (that you specified in the global configuration for nBill), and set the options according to how you want it to work (for example, you can optionally get it to send you a report by e-mail indicating how many invoices were generated).

See the comments in the file for instructions about what to enter for each setting. When you have entered the relevant details, you need to upload the file to the root folder within your hosting account (where Joomla or Mambo is installed), and follow the instructions in the CRON job topic for protecting the script from being run remotely, and scheduling the task to run on a regular basis.
