Automated Dispatch & Reminders
The system executes in the background, attaches the PDF, and chases overdue payments.
Handling Mid-Month Prorations & Scope Addendums
When clients onboard mid-cycle or adjust their monthly engagement scope, Cod Xpert manages billing variations cleanly.
Automated Mid-Month Prorations
Easily generate partial-period invoices for clients who start mid-month, aligning future billings seamlessly with the first of each subsequent calendar month with zero manual math errors.
Scope Addendums & Ad-Hoc Charges
Need to bill for out-of-scope work or bonus milestones? Attach ad-hoc line items to upcoming recurring runs or generate one-off supplemental invoices in 1-click via Quotations.
Continuous Supply of Services under GST Law (Section 31(5))
When delivering ongoing digital marketing, software maintenance, or consulting services under long-term retainers, Indian GST legislation defines strict rules for continuous supply.
Section 31(5)(a) Due Date Determination
Where the contract provides for a predetermined date of payment (e.g., 1st or 5th of every month), the invoice must be issued on or before that due date. Cod Xpert's automated background scheduler executes on your designated schedule so invoices are legally dated and dispatched on time.
Read the GST LUT Rule 96A Retainer Guide โRecurring Exchange Rate Freezes
For international retainers denominated in USD, EUR, or GBP, each recurring generation captures the official interbank rate on that specific generation date. This guarantees accurate financial reporting under Multi-Currency Standards and simplifies year-end CA audits.

What scheduling frequencies are supported?
Can I attach static terms or service level agreements (SLAs) to recurring invoices?
Yes. You can define static boilerplate terms, SLA commitments, and payment wire details that append automatically to each recurring monthly generation.
What happens if an automated recurring dispatch fails due to an invalid email?
The system logs the delivery failure in your dashboard audit queue, highlights the affected client record, and alerts your billing administrator immediately.
You can set up recurring invoice schedules on weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cadences. You can also specify an optional end date or total occurrence limit.
Can recurring invoices be sent automatically without manual review?
Yes. You can configure full auto-pilot mode where Cod Xpert generates the PDF and emails it directly to your client via your authenticated corporate SMTP domain on the scheduled date.
How do automated overdue reminders work?
If a client fails to settle an invoice within the designated payment window (e.g., Net-15 or Net-30), our Invoice Tracking System dispatches gentle follow-ups at 7, 14, and 21 days past due.
Can I pause or edit an active recurring retainer schedule?
Yes. You can pause, adjust monthly fees, update line items, or cancel an active recurring profile at any time with immediate effect.
