Define the entry once with its lines, choose a frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually), and IntuBu creates it each period.

**Modes:** *Automatic* posts on the schedule. *Reminder* creates a task instead, for entries where the amount changes each time.

**Validation:** the template must balance — debits equal credits — before it can be saved. It is checked again on every posting, so a template can never create an unbalanced entry.

**Auto-reversal:** tick *Auto-reverse* and each occurrence schedules its own reversal a day later (configurable). This is the standard accrual pattern: estimate at month-end, back it out on day one, let the real invoice land without double-counting.

**Ending it:** set an end date, a number of occurrences, or simply switch it off.
