Question regarding recurring invoices

1
Hi All,

I am new to erpnext. There are few questions i need to ask about the recurring invoice process

1) I have a sales order  dated march-13 and the recurring invoice starting from March-13 to Feb-14. I have setup the recurring invoice system. After saving the first invoice I can see the next invoice will be generated on 1-4-13. I dont know how the system will generate the old invoices. Or I have to manually generate the invoices. Does it require any scheduler to run through cron. Anyways i have tries the scheduler lib/wnf.py --run_scheduler (The output shows ok)
2) What does the scheduler do if i put in the cron job

Thanks in advance for a wonderful product.

Scheduler will generate only future invoices, not back-dated scheduled invoices. Scheduler checks scheduled date with current date and creates new invoices if date matches.
To create back dated recurring invoices, you can call manage_recurring_invoices() function under sales invoice.py form console. Otherwise you can create them manually.
