A recurring bill is a bill that is expected to be received daily, monthly, yearly, or some other regular interval.
For example:
- My landscaper comes by every two weeks with an invoice, so I set up a recurring bill for "every two weeks" within Buildium to keep track of these.
- I use monthly recurring bills to keep track of the fresh flowers we keep in the vestibules of each building.

Keep in mind that on a cash basis, a bill is just a bill. Therefore, it would not appear on any cash basis reports. It is not recognized as an expense until it has been paid by a check. For expenses that you want to automatically reduce your bank account you will want to use a recurring check.
Creating a recurring bill will work exactly the same as the bills that come to your mailbox in the real world - when the date you've selected arrives, a bill will post automatically on the bills page, ready for you to pay.
Recurring bills are processed and incremented once a day through a batch process. They are best used to create bills in the future, rather than catching up on your data entry.
