Recurring expenses does not seem to recur.
Hello,
I am currently trialling FA and have tried to create a recurring weekly expense for 'use of home' but it does not seem to actual recur in each week/month. Am I doing the obvious wrong?

Inappropriate?Lynne,
Currently we only recur each expense (or indeed invoice) as the date arises for it to be recreated.
We're going to update FreeAgent in the next month or so to support the behaviour you're probably expecting: that you should be able to create a sequence of historical recurring expenses leading up to today, right?

Thanks Ed. Sorry for delay. So are you saying that recurring expenses created for future recurring events does work and that historical ones do not? If so, can you advise on the quickest way to add half a year's worth of working from home expenses? I'm trying to retrofit FA to my company, which started in Oct-07. Thanks. -
Inappropriate?I created a recurring out-of-pocket expense, recurring monthly, starting Jan 08.
But it seems to do a grand total of nothing!
Duplicate entries aren't created for every month. Nor do they appear under the client project to which I'm billing them.
This is daft! :(
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Robert - sorry, we're not there with the ability to create 'historical recurring' expenses - FreeAgent only creates future recurring ones as and when the recur date comes up.
We're moving this up our priority list, and we'll keep you posted as to when it's imminent. -
Inappropriate?I too would like to be able to 'retro fit' a recurring expense from a date in the past up until an end date (which also may be in the past).
I'm using FreeAgent to calculate last years tax return and it's doing a *fantastic job*, up until I tried to add Use Of Home from April 2007 - April 2008.
In the absence of this functionality is the best method to manually add each occurrence as an individual expense to provide me with the calculations I require? -

Yes, you need to add each historical expense for now - sorry.
