Repeating Invoices - Quantity of payments option
Repeating Invoices have the option to provide an optional 'End Date', however it can sometimes be difficult and/or time consuming to identify the correct end date. There's also potential to miscalculate the correct end date which can sometimes result in customers being under or over charged if the selected end date results in the wrong quantity of payments.
It would be very useful if there was a 'Quantity' option for Repeating Invoices which would automatically select the correct end date. Therefore eliminating over/under payments.
This feature would be useful for those who know exactly how many times a repeating invoice should be sent.
For example, if a customer was on a payment plan of 4 x $500 payments paid fortnightly.
Currently, if the 'End Date' option was used for this and incorrectly selected, the customer might be under or over charged. Both situations are negative for the Xero customer.

This could save some confusion, and therefore less administrative errors as it is easier to put in the quantity instead of working an end date. This could be applied to other areas such as Repeating Journals etc.

This option would be very beneficial as adding a "Frequency" (How many times to repeat the invoice) instead of a date would potentially cause less confusion. It will reduce admin time and be more accurate.

This is critical when creating customer invoices for the business.

Have repeating invoices repeat for a number of cycles rather than a specific end date. So send out 10 monthly invoices not having to work out when the 10th might occur.
