Investigate how things work. Whether reoccuring invoices are sent out or only drafts are created.

I've done some tests.

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/akaunting/artisan recurring:check

That checks if there is a recurring invoice, creates it and sends an email to the user.

However, there is no pdf included in the email (whereas when manually sent) and the link is to http://localhost/signed/invoices/17?company_id=1&signature=49whatevernumber and doesn't work.

Also, those automatic created invoices are set as draft on Akaunting, not as Sent. So if that is a draft, why does the user receives it?

If I click on SEND, the received email has the pdf included, and a link to https://testinstance/signed/invoices/17?company_id=1&signature=7awhatevernumber which works.

Also, I don't understand something about the cronjob.

On the web interface, you can set the hour to run the cronjob (php /var/www/akaunting/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)

However, we are supposed to also manually add the cronjob. This means we can set up a different hour than what we set from web interface... So I don't get it.

edit: nevermind, web site says "Copy the command to your Cron Job system. Set it to run every minute."

There is an issue on the test instance (I've tried on prod, but couldn't reproduce it there): if you don't set recurring when creating the invoice, then, you can't add it after.

To reproduce:

Create an invoice
Save
Edit it
Set invoice
Save it
Edit it to check if recurring is still there: it is gone.

To reproduce: - Create an invoice - Save - Edit it - Set invoice - Save it - Edit it to check if recurring is still there: it is gone.
