    Hi Wendy26 

     

    Recurring transactions are recorded when the file is opened and thus are assigned to that user who initiated that opening of that file on the selected date.

     

    For example, if UserA is listed as the user in the Recurring Transaction Schedule of the transaction but UserB opens the file on that then UserB would be the user ID assigned to the recurring transaction.

    It should be noted that the Recurring Schedule user option is Automatically record this transaction when due and notify that user. The user is selected for the notification, not the recording.
